t_b Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 Apologies if covered if covered elsewhere, couldn’t see it. Belatedly picked up a snippet around a further round of redundancies for Reach PLC (mass media publisher). https://www.nuj.org.uk/resource/reach-announces-further-job-cuts.html It was flagged during Guardian Football Weekly that if certain people under risk get cut, there’ll be no local media left covering clubs and it just becomes in-house (Huddersfield & Plymouth called out as two examples). How long before Bristol Sport is just covered by one journalist and they get spread too thin? If people think the in-house coverage of NP’s removal was flimsy, just wait until the club know there isn’t any substantial local media presence to question them at any stage.

GrahamC Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 When people wonder why the Sports Editor is now also the bloke who reports on us & the churn of journalists covering the 2 Bristol clubs is so high, here’s your answer. Genuinely don’t see a future for print media within the next decade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 If the digital offering from Reach wasn't so poor, more people might be inclined to buy print editions. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure the revenue they get from a single user from all their adverts is much less than I would pay to have a 100% advert free version of their website available.

luke_bristol Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 If their websites were usable more people might visit them and generate some revenue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
