September 16, 2022 Ipswich councillors remain divided over direction of media policy

The policy has since been through the wringer with some councillors clearly trying to limit the amount of publicity afforded the mayor while boosting their own stocks in the media. In this episode I take you behind the scenes of media policies and procedures at Ipswich City Council since 2003 and what is the difference between a council policy and procedure.
