Manchester Community Reporters (MCRs) cover the area they live in and people they know.

Their reports feature on local websites, their own personal websites and potentially on other local media like the BBC. Reports can be in the form or words, pictures, sound and video.

MCRs learn how to use new technology such as mp3 recorders and digital cameras - or just mobile phones! The use new web tools to publish their work, such as:

• blogs - easy to create personal web pages or diaries

• podcasts - sound files that you can download and listen to when you want, on your computer or portable player

This site will feature the best of the MCRs’ work, with links to each reporter’s personal blog. It will give the background to the project and latest news.
