First they closed the local Visiter offices.
Then Trinity Mirror decided to amalgamate its local paper websites while writing the paper in Liverpool.
And soon, both the Visiter and Ormskirk Advertiser websites will only be accessed via the ‘all singing, all dancing’ Echo website as the publisher marches into its brave new digital world.
It all sounds great news for local readers and advertisers - at least if you believe the promotional piece in yesterday’s Visiter - but the fact of the matter is that more and more folk are deserting the newspaper which is now on its death bed.

which is why they are having to do what they are doing.
Can't recall the last time a read a news paper of any type, Local news I get off local web sites and global news off the internet or t.v.
Most new by any media is biased, ******** or propaganda, and most of it a take with a pinch of salt.

Why would anyone buy a paper that is cobbled together from articles they've already put online padded out with comments people have made on Facebook?
Haven't bought the paid version in years.
The free one gets skimmed through in about 2 minutes and gets used to line the cat litter tray. That's if it hasn't been left on the doorstep in the rain by the delivery person.
