Hyperlocal media keeps Welsh communities connected

Wales is investing in Papuro Bro, a network of 52 newspapers, website and apps devoted to covering local events and issues in Welsh, a language often neglected by mainstream media. Individual papers have teamed up with local colleges and community centres to train young people in media and publishing, producing apps, writing articles, editing and developing business strategies. The result is a skills boost for neglected language communities, a network for promoting local businesses, and a hyperlocal source of information where underrepresented groups can see themselves.
