I was pretty disappointed with last week's edition.. a vast pullout section with a stack of photos on school leavers and their prom season; this is of supreme indifference and is not news.
I also note that last week, there was a mere single page of letters. The letters pages (and there were three pages of such not long ago) are one of the best sections of the newspaper. I find there is less and less worth reading in this newspaper and yet the price escalates. I find the newspaper is increasingly heavy on photos and much lighter on text. The prom section is a classic example...what a waste of money. This was a great paper a decade ago and less. Is there a new editor in charge? The quality of the Newbury Weekly News and its news content seems to go from bad to worse. |

Yet another import from the USA (sigh) why? something else to drain poor daddy's wallet, yet another 'must have' from the land of the obese burger munchers.
