Channel 4’s Big Breakfast marked Local Newspaper Week with a visit to the offices of the Burton Mail.

Viewers saw presenter Richard Bacon meeting news editor Andy Parker and deputy news editor Julie Crouch in the newsroom soon after 7.30am today.

After some light-hearted jibes about Mail stories, Richard remarked that the Mail had one of the smallest circulations of any daily paper in the country.

But Mr Parker replied that Burton was a very small geographical area to have its own paper, and they were very proud of it.

For a full report on the cameras descending on the Burton Mail, see HoldTheFrontPage tomorrow.
