Here on Ootn Aboot, I see this morning that The Courier is following me today.
Journalists no longer investigate, They just spew out the press releases they are handed.
One of the defining moments for me was last year when the D&G Standard referred to an immigrant from The Mercure Hotel who sexually abused a young local girl as "A DUMFRIES MAN"
Outrageous and careless.
It is good to see old friends connecting with you.
Hi Stuart. I remember you when you started at The Gazette. It was a great place then, as you have described. I moved to The Standard in 83 and surprised when you arrived there too. Bit different there. I was at Gazette for 14 years and Standard 10 years.
Susan Black here. Someone sent your article on to me. We had some fun working for local papers in the 80’s. Agree with your assessment but still buy The Galloway News. There are still some good journalists struggling away in what’s left!

The cut and paste function is the most often used tool in local newspaper publishing these days I reckon.

Spot on article Stuart.
I read with great interest as l started out at the Hastings Observer back in 1977 in the ad department. Retired 5 years ago thank god!
