“Many of those institutions are so
mismatched to the task at hand
that most of them face a choice, at
best, between radical restructure
and outright collapse.”
     - Clay Shirky, New York University (NYU) as a Distinguished
Writer in Residence at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute,
                                               December 2011
“People might not go to their
 council website to read news but
 they’re happy to sign up for
 Facebook and Twitter feeds that
 bring the news to them.”
                 - Adrian
                   Short, web
                   developer
