A pretty poor performance all round. Doubtless the editors will be blaming the internet and not the constant rounds of editorial cuts we have seen in the industry for the past 30 or so years. There is a lack of investment in real local news, once the pride of most of these titles. The internet is not replacing local newspapers, they are dying of their own accord. Profits, profits, profits. That’s all that matters. Forget the readers, otherwise there would be investment in staff, proper wages, investment in proper training and a desire to win back sales.

When I started in this job more than six years ago the circulation at my paper was double what it is now.

Jeez, Justified – scary figure. I always worry, too, about what happens when the old folks, who love a local rag, start dying off…

How can you worry about a silly thing like circulation and committment to local news when all that money from the 25-30% margins is declining at such a rate. A small town like mine can only afford to send a few million to the newspaper group shareholders now. Shame on you selfish people. I intend launch ‘comic’ relief and ask all our businesses that are struggling so much to dig deep and pay at least double for their advertising.
