Looking at the Observer this week, yes, do think they could have made room for an article on this event. Seems to me has been a commercial decision.

Not sure how they lay out the paper for printing, but looks like they print 2 on across making four pages in all. They appear to do in multiples of 4, however, could be incorrect re. this, but sure you understand what I am trying to say.
They could have done a page on this, but would mean finding enough adverts/news stories for the other 3.

Ok, we have lots of photographs for the Baby competition and the Proms from two schools. Not objecting to these at all, but an editor thinking of commercial value, would sell more papers (and more photographs) for these articles rather than a dedication to a refurbished war memorial. Sad.

To be fair, they have done a full page on the inquest of Pte Jason Rawstron from Clayton killed in Afghanistan, and a half page on the Pals 1st July commemoration.

Passed yesterday, and there must have been around 20 Rhyddings school children clambering all over it. Not saying they were doing any harm, and is very tempting to sit there and gather. At least some were reading the wreaths and plaque.
