Newsquest Watch, a new blog dedicated (obviously) to monitoring the goings-on at the Gannett-owned regional newspaper group, has been launched.
In a welcome message, the blogger, one Stevie D, writes:
I am a concerned individual based in the UK with considerable knowledge of this firm, which is part of Gannett. I believe that any business which plays such a vital role in communities up and down the country should be accountable. We’ll highlight the profits they make, their employment practices and the way they have cut back on local newsgathering in the name of greed.
Stevie D? Surely this concerned individual is the disgrunted journalist from Blackpool who was writing about his “local Newsquest fiefdom” under the same moniker a few months ago?
Well worth watching.
