Although I would not want to see the local staff loose their jobs at a time when the Johston Press is swinging the axe. I do feel they could do much better.
I notice the spelling mistakes, the incomplete press releases from our Conservative Rutland County Council.
There is quite a bit of criticism out there in the world wide web.
But just like Rutland County Council and Oakham Town Council who consider the Rutland Times their propaganda tool, they seem blinkered to this.
(Its Kate Adie's Birthday today Happy Birthday.) She once told me it would be a bad day for democracy if we saw the demise of newspapers.
Possibly something councils like Rutland County Council would be pleased to see.
We all have something to look forward too, in future publications of the Rutland Times. Oakham Town Councillor John Nowell has been given a new role. He will write stories about Town Council meetings after they have been vetted by the Chairman Cllr Lucas and the Deputy Chairman Cllr Haworth the will be sent to the Rutland Times, providing of course a very unbiased journalistic content for the Rutland Times readers to enjoy along side Cllr Lucas's egotistic column "My Town, My County"
One of the Rutland Times on-line critics below:
BREAKING NEWS IN RUTLAND
I have recently returned from my time at university in Edinburgh, one of the world’s great cities - a bustling European capital full of character, tales and culture at every turn down it’s meandering streets - to Rutland.
Like all quality journalism, it takes 124hours and 15minutes to report a story that consists of two sentences and 31 words. 31 words frothing with news, overfilling out of the chalice of journalism, though. Obviously, to ensure the gravitas of this tragedy, ‘EMERGENCY’ has to be spelt in capitals.
Rutland I love you, but your bringing me down…
