Newspapers and Blogs

As with lots of areas (excepting our village environment) big change is happening. Local and national papers are suffering year on year losses. This can only go on a few more years. Even The Guardian which has perhaps the best online website ( not necessarily the political content) is loosing money.

Early this year The Times owner Rupert Murdoch took The Times behind a pay wall. This is not going very well. Congratulations to Guido for beating The Times. However loosing local newspapers is not good for local democracy. There will be no central place for the short comings of our local politicians to be highlighted.
