Local Web News Manifesto

In response to discussions at Talk About Local its founder William Perrin has suggested that local community web publishers should adopt a voluntary set of standards that would signify the serious and honourable intent of those who sign up.

Will has suggested a "manifesto" that hyperlocal news publishers might like to agree to:

Local Web News 'Manifesto':

In signing up to this manifesto we agree to be:

1 - Fair
2 - Truthful
3 - Proportionate
4 - Provocative
5 - Playful
6 - Local
7 - Low cost
8 - Not boring
9 - Not evil

The disscussion is taking place right now over at Local Web News Manifesto.
