Sitting alone in a frankly dull meeting for three hours, then waiting for a few hours for a video to render out / upload, as well as type it up…. to see what has popped online at the Leader… Newsquest (Leader) & Reach (Daily Post) stopped going to council meetings, and don't even bother with the monthly media brief where open questions are possible. They are in effect paid by the BBC to run beeb reporters to do the job now - nice cash/saving for the huge companies!
