  Im definitely for newspapers. They are still unparalelled in actual news gathering and the depth to which they can cover it. TV might do all the main stories but cant cover them in any depth. The Internet can do some of the stories much like TV, but for sheer volume of content is generally beaten by the newspaper. Somehow it is more easily digestible on the printed page anyway. It may seem odd saying that what with me doing a website and so on....but the internet is also the home to the most spurious rubbish ever to see the light of day.
  
  I bought The Telegraph for 25 years and then switched to the Times for the last fifteen, although I dont buy either now. I buy both local newspapers every week and also check out Your Dover online. Its still the best way of knowing what goes on locally.. although we do our best around here and its always good when members break new stories on here. Its tip top in fact.
  
  The Newspapers do bring us some fantastic stories though. Howard mentions the Telegraph and the expenses scandal. What an espose that was and brilliantly done. They were able to throw 40 journalists on to that one which is just a pipedream for the web resource-wise. Of course as anyone knows they are not always brilliant and dont always get it right, but Im afraid thats part in a way of the human psyche in that we all make mistakes all the time.
  
  But yes Vic a great shame when the local offices closed. A town not able to support a newspaper is in a sorry state. But the next bext thing is that they publish a Dover edition still.
