We have two exciting roles up for grabs within our Northants news team for Local Democracy Reporters to cover all things politics across the county. One would be based at @ChronandEcho and the other at @NTelegraph. Details here atscloud.co.uk/thesmartlist/… atscloud.co.uk/thesmartlist/…
Like many small businesses, I've found the last 18 months very challenging. All my focus is now on the rebuild and I would love it if you could check out my new website. Words by @pilkingtoncomms website by @wejumphigher and pics of me by @kcoop_photo kirstyedmondsphotography.co.… xx

Sad but true that the Chron newsroom had to deal with this this week. Maybe people don't like reporters very much but no one deserves to be spoken to like this. Really appreciate my editor and my paper taking a stand against it.

We know as an industry that we are not particularly well liked by the general public and we are used to people telling us that on a daily basis, but a threat to kill - in any circumstance - is unacceptable and our editors are, rightly so, not going to stand for it.

Totally and utterly unacceptable. We are nowhere in a democracy without a free press to do their work without fear or favour. Team Harry stand shoulder to shoulder with you and your colleagues @HomeCountiesEd.
EDITOR'S COMMENT: We will not tolerate any threats of violence or abuse against our reporters northamptonchron.co.uk/news/…

BTW - the staggering Capt Tom Moore adventure began with THIS story of 136 words. ALL hacks followed. Local news MATTERS. Tipping my battered trilby to Clare Turner, Damien Lucas & Bedford Today - @DamienJPIMedia @Claret40 @BedfordTC. (Cc: @DomPonsford) bit.ly/3cAW3yI

Let’s hope the Council’s review decision is positive for the tenants! 🤞🤞 Thank you @ChronandEcho for highlighting this issue – at Northampton, England

I’m so proud of Amanda. I first spoke to her 4 years ago & I can’t believe it’s the same women. There were tears in court today when she read out her statement. She couldn’t have done this if she hadn’t been supported by an incredibly strong group of Corby women 💪🏻
