Telegraph troubles

For those who like media gossip, the Guardian's report into the ousting of Telegraph editor, Martin Newland, provides some interesting stuff. Newland seemed to me a good editor of the paper, responding personally to emails for a start, and focusing on news, but his apparent uninterest in comment (as opposed to news) did allow some awful stuff with terrible howlers to creep into those pages.

The newspaper apparently now has Simon Heffer (and other ex-Mail journalists) in some sort of managerial capacity, which essentially means it will soon be unreadable. For us loyalists it appears we're going to have to go the other way, and start buying the Mail.
