Hi I saw your post about the Chron not being interested in stories because they don't put a good spin on the area.
I am a journalist with Real Radio. Steve Ellwood on this site knows me and I'm sure he can vouch for me.
If you ever have anything of interest that you think might make a story, please feel free to contact me.
Sadly we can't pay, and because of the nature of what we do (News on the hour for Real and scripts for Smooth Radio.) we don't tend to do investigative stuff though it's not out of the question.
If you'd like to chat sometime please give me a call on 0191 440 7555.
Cheers, Dan Entwisle.
