I can testify to the fact that I have been refused the right of reply to several personal attacks on me and unfortunately, the neutering of the press is leading to a decline in circulation as many people don't bother to buy local papers any more because they no longer report any contentious issues.Lesley Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-29995328948949594782012-12-09T12:18:49.087+00:002012-12-09T12:18:49.087+00:00Maybe they were yelled at to 'back off a bit!&...Maybe they were yelled at to 'back off a bit!'Delyth Jenkinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-72244929584154859302012-12-09T09:49:57.314+00:002012-12-09T09:49:57.314+00:00These are very serious allegations.

One accepts that the regional press is foremost a commercial operation but the wilful suppression of information in the manner described here is alarming. Such instances flag up the key difference between the freedom of the press which has been greatly discussed of late and the <i>independence</i> of the media which is apparently under threat in Carmarthenshire.Ap Williamnoreply@blogger.com
