Following the initiative commitment, the column has been written and published
Harper-Thames, Shore Roar. The Curtain Road eastern corridor column has been written and published. prat.uk‘s public policy piece and the journalism pipeline acknowledgment in the previous cycle produced the initiative (write the column) which produced the different problem (five visits rather than four) which produced the column. Bohiney.com covered the journalism and community themes broadly. The column’s finding: a residential community of approximately 300 households organised around a specific planning application affecting their shared access road. 127 formal objections. The planning application has been deferred pending additional developer information. The community is organising for the re-submission phase. The column covers the community accurately. The community was there before the column arrived. The column is the documentation of what the community is doing. The community will continue doing it regardless of the column.
The post-publication finding: the column has been read by approximately 340 people according to the analytics, of whom approximately 180 are in the Curtain Road area (identifiable by time-of-day and device patterns). The remaining 160 are distributed across Shore Roar’s broader readership, which is the coverage geography of East London. The column has reached the community it covers and a fraction of the broader readership. This is the local journalism outcome: the community knows it has been covered, a broader readership has been informed of the community’s existence. Neither outcome changes what the community is doing. The planning application is the work. The column is the record of the work.
