Of course, there will be envious carping by others not least from the many penniless Welsh bloggers who have been providing the proposed service for several years unpaid and largely unappreciated. But that is the way of it. Dylan Iorwerth clearly knows how to fill in the right forms. A true talent for the current age.
Magazine firm’s £600k web boost
Welsh language publishers Golwg have secured £600,000 from the assembly government which had been earmarked for developing the Welsh language press.Plans for Y Byd, a Welsh daily newspaper, were abandoned in February amid claims the assembly government had not provided enough financial support.Golwg was one of several media companies bidding for funding.It has published its weekly Welsh language magazine for 20 years and said it would now develop an online service.
Mr.Iorwerth has said … “We’re extremely thrilled but at the same time, we’re very cautious of the massive challenge that lies ahead of us and that this will be a huge responsibility for us.”
Yeah right.
