Digital News: Story Ideas

So far me, Illy, Tim and Sei-Kai have found three possible stories that we could use towards our news channel, that involve the community in some way.

1. Museum Trust

Helen gave our group a little booklet that contained events and local stories around Swale. While looking through the booklet I found a story under the 'Embracing Localism' section, the article was called, 'Appeal launched for new museum'.

The article is about an old building known as the Milton Regis Court Hall and how a group of people have created a trust fund so that they could raise money to transform this building into a museum.

2. Medway Regeneration

Medway are regenerating their area so that they can advance in learning, culture, tourism and enterprise.

The main focuses of the regeneration are the town centres, transport, and continued development for the further and higher education.

As there are so many areas in Medway having the regeneration, we decided that if we had to focus on an area it would be the Pentagon Centre in Chatham as it has been invested a £160 million.


3. Knitting for Charity



Tim found a story online of an event on 22 November 2014, in Waterslade, Chatham where people are getting together for a coffee morning where they can knit and raise money for charity.

The charity has been created for the Medway Hospital, so that they can buy new machinery for the breast cancer unit.


Even though we have three stories we are still keeping an eye out for other stories, just incase these ones don't work out.
