Hemibr Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 The Star has always been little more than the council's inhouse newsletter. If you take out all the stories put there by the PR departments of the public services there's nothing but adverts. The Star does very little proper journalism and never, ever criticises the local political elite or establishment. It's nothing more than an organ for spreading the propaganda of Labour councillors. And it's very white blue collar in its content. On top of that the online edition is litterd with spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. There was a story the other day about 85% of burglary crime never being solved but they didn't allow comment on the story because people might criticise the local plod for being rubbish. That's about their level. I thought this article was a job promo or recruitment drive. Join the burglary fraternity as its on the up with a taxation rate of 15 percent with 85 percent tax free. Thats actually less than the rate of vat so if you feel burglary is a good carreer choice then consider the perks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Apparently SF is on Twitter, but like the Facebook group, nobody ever posts on it. OK so I'm dumb. Why does an internet forum need to be on another internet forum like Twitter or Facebook? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 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. Isn't that the case for all the daily papers including the nationals?

Jeffrey Shaw Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Isn't that the case for all the daily papers including the nationals? Not quite, no. The national newspapers report and analyse news. Websites report. The Star hardly does either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem1st Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Print media is dying. A YouTube or Twitter presence would make more sense. Maybe so, but there is areas that the net can't compete. Papers upon transport, in shops, talked about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric_Collins Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Im amazed that the star actually has a page 37. You get 500 sheets in an Andrex. But unlike the star they are full **** after you've used them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
