Comments on: Regionals should get their houses in order before trying to stop others http://daveleejblog.com/2008/10/regionals-should-get-their-houses-in-order-before-trying-to-stop-others/ Fresh ideas for online journalism Sat, 11 Feb 2012 12:57:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Ed Walker http://daveleejblog.com/2008/10/regionals-should-get-their-houses-in-order-before-trying-to-stop-others/comment-page-1/#comment-1068 Ed Walker Tue, 21 Oct 2008 21:38:31 +0000 http://www.dave-lee.org/jblog/?p=394#comment-1068 Dave, you make some good points. It's sad that an organisation as large as Trinity Mirror can't invest heavily in improving their online presences - although to be fair, the Liverpool Echo (http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/) is pretty good and they've recently been making everyone in the West Midlands re-apply for their jobs so they can weed out the non-believers in a digital format. If the BBC does go hyper-local as they are threatening and 'destroy' the current setup then surely that is the fault of the local/regional newspapers for not having their house in order.
