To be honest, I doubt if there will be any local newspapers in 5 years time. Not here and not in Cardiff either. And that's very bad. It means that there won't be any experienced journalists monitoring council meetings or court cases. We'll be stuck with online websites passing on public relations handouts, which is already happening. |  |

I bought it last week to read the account of the match. While it had the score under that there was no account of the game but instead a series of 'talking points'. Complete waste of time (and money). That's the last time I buy the Evening Post for a report on a Swans game. |  | | |

Local newspapers in Sweden are subsidised to encourage diversity and hold local councils to account. Not a bad idea. |  |

It's not just about PR handouts, it's censorship. Look at Wales online and see how many stories don't allow comments, specially the political stories. The WOL don't like to let us criticise the WAG! | |

There are now a lot of sources of information , including this website. There is very little future for print newspapers. Most young people don't even think of buying a paper.
Sadly they probably have one or two journalists (copy writers) trying to do everything.
I can remember having to buy the sporting post on a Saturday night to get the results! Because if you missed the teleprinter or final score as it is now called that would be it until the Sunday morning papers! |  | | |

This is so true. Even when you go back to the early days of this website (2000/2001) there was a need then for match reports/news/photos etc but that has long since been taken away as well.
I am still genuinely amazed why anyone would buy the EP although I assume that is why Wales Online go down the 300 adverts per page route in the hope that some people still buy the paper version |  | | |

Well I bought it cos I was naively hoping for some informed insight.
