Stamford Town Council voted against allowing the Rutland & Stamford Mercury to Tweet updates from its meetings.


Stamford Town Council voted against allowing the Rutland  & Stamford Mercury to Tweet updates from its meetings.



Stamford Town Council was asked if Mercury reporter

@Mercury_JohnE


could Tweet during a full council meeting on Tuesday.

John said many councils allow journalists to Tweet from meetings.

Councillors raised concerns about the accuracy of reporting if a journalist covering the meeting was multi-tasking and were also worried that comments could appear out of context.
