Watchdog to become a community news service

This newsletter aims to become a community newsletter for the rural areas of the Rural City of Wangaratta. It will be working on the successful formula developed by Dorothy Casey when she built the Moyhu Community Grapevine into an award winning community newsletter.

Her success was due to providing a venue for community groups to inform the public of their news and events.

The Watchdog News will give publishing access to any community group that wishes to use this space. That's right, you can write your own news items directly from your browser. You can add your own photos too.

Unlike hard copy newsletters, there are no deadlines. You can add your content at any time.

Comment and opinions will now be published on Watchdog Views. Here you can register and express your concerns on any issues caused by the decisions of the three levels of government.

I invite you all to participate in both internet publications.
