Liverpool paper top story: Buy some ad space, please

Now I may be a little old fashioned when it comes to commercial influence in newspapers, but it disheartens me to see Liverpool’s LX News running with this lead story: Advertise to over 60,000 students.

At what point does the drive for funding hamper a student newspaper’s coverage? I’d argue this example of LX News is a push too far.

   Hi Dave,

   Thanks for your feedback. Although I completely agree with you, unfortunately as we do not have funds simply thrown at us (like most other student union run newspapers), we have to try and get any money we can, so that our journalists can indeed publish their great articles and keep the newspaper running.

   After all, I’m sure you’d agree, there would be no point having lots of great stories if there is no money to publish them!

   Cheers,
   Francisco
