The Citizens’ Eye Community News Agency website has been established to enable community people in Leicester and Leicestershire to become ‘Citizen Reporters’ and provide a news gathering platform for current and relevant news to the third sector.
- We aim to provide a professional media outlet for community groups to promote their events and share best practice amongst their peers.
- We aim to present the stories and photographs received in a professional and unbiased way, and to accurately represent all communities.
- In our portrayal of the people and locations reported, we shall strive to dispel much of the ignorance that erodes community cohesion.
We welcome comments from all the Citizens of the City and County.
