V.Rossi Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 You've gotta love them, even if they do get half of their stories from here, the other half they just copy and paste from SYP, and SYFS, reading the star has got to trigger memories of Roger Mellie the man on the telly. But tonights local news tops it, breaking news... Art festival @ Scarborough :hihi::loopy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chem1st Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Have they stopped selling Socialist Worker on Fargate? I don't know, never bought one, had one given to me once, but I lost it in the pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazarus Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I think the Star has lost its way this past year, to many stories that are non Sheffield and what used to be a good readers gallery of photos is now like a family album, its not worth the money. I know a paper relies on advertising its now a bit to much. At one time of day a reporter was sent to the Court House to cover cases, even drunk and disorderly cases were printed with a full report on what the person had done.

DerbyTup Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I think the Star has lost its way this past year, to many stories that are non Sheffield and what used to be a good readers gallery of photos is now like a family album, its not worth the money. I know a paper relies on advertising its now a bit to much. At one time of day a reporter was sent to the Court House to cover cases, even drunk and disorderly cases were printed with a full report on what the person had done. You're right. You see, the Star used to be an evening paper. (Stars come out at night see..that's the logic). It used to be worth buying, especially if you could get your hands on the "city late" edition which had those words stamped on it in red ink. It had a STOP PRESS column down the side with the very latest breaking news that day. What it couldn't capture was covered in the following days "Morning Telegraph". A daily newspaper. Nowadays there is no Morning Telegraph and the Star has become a morning newspaper instead. So, effectively, it isn't a "news" paper at all - because all the stuff in it is from the day before. With the advent of the internet we can go online and find up to the minute news - so there's no need for it really. Unless you want to read about art festivals in (nearby?) Scarborough.

damo Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Do Johnstone Press own a newspaper in/near Scarborough? It must be they have shoved the wrong banner on it and put it on the Sheffield site instead of the Scarborough one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
