Media initiative is desperately needed
Central Coast Council is expected to host five community workshops next year to elaborate on its draft climate change policy details.
The workshops will coincide with the public exhibition of the document.
How many people will attend the workshops?
How knowledgeable is the general public?
Will they have their questions answered in a manner they understand given the meetings time restrictions?
It is time for the Peninsula News to show leadership on this matter.
My suggestion is that the paper dedicate a minimum of one edition in February or March to comment on climate change covering a minimum of six pages.
This will be a media initiative desperately needed locally, as the discussion on climate change impact and action intensifies.
Toeing the media line is not in the best interests of a community newspaper.
You should be aware that I am very selective when I use the term newspaper.
It is a compliment.
