[Albion] Argus Headline

[dejavuatbtn]

A classic example on line of a pic of the A27 taken from Google and, yes, the back of a copper. Classic lazy journalism.

I confess to still get the on line version, for obituaries if nothing else.

You lead an exciting life or maybe not if you see your own in there.

I come from an age where the deaths of people of my age are only reported in the local newspaper. As long as I don’t lead an exiting life I guess I’m OK.

Didn't know people still announced stuff in papers these days

Reminds me of a headline in the Evening Standard years ago : "Queen in Palace Brawl". Not what it seems to mean! It referred to Gerry Queen of our friends up the road getting involved in scuffle during a match......

The fact is, the paper versions of these papers are all dying out and they need a new income. Sadly, that now comes from click-bait titles for hits on their website and advertising income from those advertising on said pages. I still think Brian Owen is a decent football journo too who is still pretty reliable.

I struggle to get why people get so angry about it all (as with most things). The Argus is never going to get the transfer scoop ahead of the bigger agencies.

I applied for an alcohol licence last year and I had to put an announcement in a local paper to allow concerned locals to object - there was a list of about three and they all charged north of £200 for a few lines which I doubt anyone read.

I suspect that there are still quite a few things where there is a statutory requirement to have an announcement in a physically printed newspaper. It may not be long before there are papers whose main source of income is this sort of thing.

Never been the same since John Vinnicombe. Horrible man but a capable journo when sober.

Wow! Got to be one of the most tasteless, unnecessary comments seen for a while. Shagging your missus was he?

Well respected on this thread, not a bad word about him.

Another piece of fantastic journalism.

Looks like poor Gregory has melted.
