Council newspapers
Dear Cornwall Council,
Under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act, I wish to receive the following information from your authority:
1. The name, frequency and distribution/circulation of your council newspaper (by council newspaper I mean the most frequently published newspaper or magazine intended for mass distribution covering more than one topic)
2. How much it cost to produce and distribute said newspaper in the last full financial year, and how much was budgeted from council resources in the financial year 2009/2010
3. How much of that cost is offset by advertising
4. How much of that advertising, if any, comes from external sources (ie not from your authority's budgets)?
5. Which other public sector partners pay to run advertising in your newspaper, eg PCTs?
6. Whether recruitment advertising forms part of the advertising in your newspaper?
7. A copy of an editorial policy guide, if one exists, which governs the material which is placed in the newspaper, and how it is decided
8. A copy of an advertising policy guide, if one exists, which governs what sort of advertising is suitable.
9. The number of people employed to put your newspaper/newsletter together, including total cost and staff organisation chart
Some parts of this request may be easier to answer than others, and should this prove to be the case I would ask that you release available data as soon as possible rather than hold up the entire request.
I would prefer to receive this information electronically. If the decision is made to withhold some of this data using exemptions in Act, please inform me of that fact and cite the exemptions used.
If you need any clarification then please contact me at the email. Under your section 16 duty to provide advice and assistance I would expect you to contact me if you find this request unmanageable in any way.
I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request, and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Yours faithfully,
L Barnett
