Evening spizz. I posted on twitter about the poor local journalism at the moment and time contacted me asking me to give him a ring.

Good evening to you too, don’t do twitter, tik tok nor much nothing at all.
Fair does, well done.
The guy takes pelters on here from ‘one or two discerning listeners’’, so great to hear from the other side for a change.

Absolute credit to Tim here.

Hope James Earnshaw can work through whatever the issues are that he has and can return to his previous standards.

Thanks.

If I've read your summary correctly, Tim Dellor's explanation for the dearth of local football journalism is:

"it’s tragic we don’t have that sort of thing any more but that’s the way digital media has gone."

That was referring to the kind of coverage we used to have in local papers. Now, we don’t really have local papers, whatever the names says on the front page.

If anybody has ever delved into the realms of ‘In Your Area’ (the Evening Post’ replacement), you will see that it it is neither ‘local’ (despite setting up your account for RG news) and is nothing much more than an advertisement platform….RFC (or any sport Reading based) barely even exists

Yup...

Bit like Jackson's Department store - everyone was sad when it closed down, yet not enough people shopped there...
