Re: Ripped off.
 

Will newspapers exist in their current form much longer? The local papers are scraping the barrel and the quality of reporting especially in the Lancashire Evening Telegraph is so poor it is embarrassing. I doubt if the Local observer will last due to the Manchester control cocking it up. news online or on forums and that is it.

Re: Ripped off.
 

theres no real need for newspapers now when so many sources give you the news for free.

ok you dont get local news but from the headlines of late in our local rags its either some crimes been commited or someones skydived off the arndale so hardly worth paying to get depressing news and besides i hear about them articles here before i do the local rag.

venues and events are better advertised via social media and if you want to nkow whats on tv you get a guide on screen now so no need for a tv guide either

newspapers are hanging on by teh skin of tehir teeth because tehres still a few people left who have never used a computer but when they eventually die off there will be no customers.Folk dont even need to buy papers to see which footballer is cheating on which pop star these days its all a click away and free.

unfortunatly for us the BBC have also thought about this and for teh past decade have been trying to get government to introduce an internet licence so the can keep grabbing money they way we are forced to by owning a TV
