The Press Gazette reports forecasts from media research firm Enders Analysis that a third of the UK's regional newspapers, two national newspapers and half of the jobs in the regional media will disappear in the next five years.
In 2008 we've lost The Derby Trader, The Ilkeston Trader, The Ripley Trader, Peterborough Herald and Post, Stamford Herald and Post, The Whittlesey Standard, Deepings Standard, Belper Bugle, The Long Eaton Advertiser, The Long Eaton Trader, The Abergele Visitor, The Rhyl and Prestatyn Visitor, Your Vale, The Huyton & Roby Star, The Congleton Guardian, The Macclesfield Community News, The Hale Community News, The Knutsford Community News, The Wilmslow and Bramhall Community New, The Glasgow East News, The Ayrshire Extra.They may not have all been good, but we haven't seen a cull of nostalgic names like this since Dr Beeching. Any more for the roll call ?
