He simply does what he's told. The idea that he possesses any real editorial control over the Dreary Post can be discounted. True control lies with the Managing Director of the LDP&E whose instructions have been for several years to do nothing to undermine confidence in Liverpool. Only if a story has 'compelling news value' - that is, if some other newspaper might run with it - can the story be published. It's a shameful state-of-affairs, and owes nothing at all to Trinity Mirror's 'loyalty' to the city. Rather it's a decision taken on purely commercial grounds - criticse nothing; keep local interests happy with obliging tales of Scouse patriotism; and the revenues will flow in. Unprincipled and ultimately self-defeating, this has been the business model to which Mark Thomas must pay homageRonnienoreply@blogger.com
