Our geographical importance
You may wish to write about us because of our geographical importance:
- Globally & nationally. In terms of working exclusively with web development in the third sector; we are the world's original, regional "Web Development Partnership".
- Locally. We are constitutionally dedicated to working charitably; especially for stakeholders in Birmingham (UK).
Our timeliness
You may wish to write about us because of our timeliness:
- On individuals. People want help setting up & developing websites now, more than ever before, because the internet's so new. That's what BWDP is here for.
- On society at large. Society has demands, and the internet is tasked more and more with meeting those demands. Society has all kinds of problems, and the world wide web harbours assistance in finding all kinds of solutions. That's what BWDP is here for.
Your interest
You may wish to write about us because of your personal or professional interest, in bringing us or any of our projects into the public eye.
For reporters
- As a journalist or researcher, you may be assigned to reporting on the Internet & ICT industry; on the Third Sector; or on anything local to Birmingham & the West Midlands.
- You may have been asked specifically to find some stories relevant to web development in Birmingham's third sector.
- You may wish to beat other news outlets to a good story; and may be interested in new ideas or exploring new angles.
For editors

For all journalists
- Information overload. It's a common problem. We won't waste your time with junk news. We try to make it easy for you to distinguish us from the avalance of data to comes your way.

And for more in-depth features which may take days or even weeks to produce; we're happy to spend more time working with you to explore deep issues and present them in a thought-provoking way.
