Perception of public opinion via press and social media

How do we tackle the amplification of (possibly minority) negative opinions?

  • Bot-style responding to the often negative headlines in the ODT? (the bots can be human!)
  • Explore ways to get counter argument articles into the press?
  • Respond directly to the people who will be swayed by the perception of negative public opinion? (i.e. councillors and planners)

No easy solutions, but something to think about.

(Ironic that a fitness club is complaining about losing close parking!)
