I guess you do then? Do you think it's value for money?So how many of you follow the Oxford mail football twitter or read the articles online , but won’t pay a few quid a month to pay the journalists ?

The articles are online with a raft of advertising, so to say you are reading with no contribution is false. And as they are put up by the content makers, it is an acceptable way to consume the output.So how many of you follow the Oxford mail football twitter or read the articles online , but won’t pay a few quid a month to pay the journalists ?
Local journalism in the form of papers has been in the pan for years nationwide. The titles are primarily filled with cheap uni graduates desperate for a break into an industry that’s already mostly over, who in turn do little besides trawl online forums and social media looking for things to ‘report’. Serves almost no value - the race to the bottom started years ago. The more they cut back and the more proper journalists and news reporting were replaced with cheap kids and recycled hash, the more sales dwindled and the less relevant they all became.
As someone who spent 15 years working in various forms of media, including newspapers and magazines, I feel pretty content saying that. Most of the publishing industry is toilet.
BBC Sounds app, you can RadOx on that.Well for me I live outside of radio oxford area so rely on the oxford mail to keep up on local news. I find their reporting on oxford United to be first class and essential to keep independent reporting.
I think you’ll miss it when it’s gone.
