As a fitting end to Source, we wanted to introduce an independent community magazine that is presenting news at the hyper-local level - Greater Govanhill magazine.

We spoke to Editor-in-Chief Rhiannon J Davies about her decision to keep the magazine hyper-local; how community engagement can lead to civic engagement; and why diversity is important in the media.

Greater Govanhill is a free magazine, which is available in most Govanhill cafes and hairdressers, online, or by post if you become a supporting member.
Media like this will not continue to exist without financial support.

“Will Scottish civil society be strong enough to resist dangerous escalations, waged not in the name of the ordinary citizens of China or Scotland, but in the name of competition for wealth and power?”

As the majority of Scotland moves out of tier 3, the temporary eviction ban has lifted, and campaigners are anticipating a wave of evictions despite not being clear of the pandemic.

"Clearly, there may be other virus mutations ahead of us, and as we know, easing out of lockdown is subject to the need to return to tougher rules to deal with infection spikes.
Having a cliff-edge end to the temporary eviction ban linked to levels 3 and 4 seems short-sighted when the virus is so capricious. Imagine you are evicted from your home on a Friday, then lockdown goes back up to level 3 or 4 on the Monday. Where is the public health protection rationale in that?" - Mike Dailly, solicitor advocate at Govan Law Centre.

Record turnout is projected in the Scottish elections, but both here and across the UK, the democratic crisis deepens. What are the solutions?

"Infamously, there are 339 local authorities across the UK, and only 32 in Scotland – making us the most centralised polity in Europe."
