Went downhill when people stopped paying for their news, same as the rest of the industry sadly. These days people don’t buy papers and don’t want to pay for new websites, so it’s not surprising that the quality drops. What is unforgiveable is the way the last government cut BBC funding forcing them to slash BBC local radio, something which is really important for communities & democracy. These days there is very little Humberside-specific reporting which is combined with a big drop in the number of journalists working in the region.
The Lincolnite Website has folded and Gi News will probably follow, people won’t pay for websites but will pay a couple of quid for a quality paper, which the Telegraph isn’t.
