This week’s Archant (Honiton) Midweek Herald.

Bearing in mind the quote yesterday that “Journalism ask the questions people don’t want to answer, otherwise it is PR”, this week’s Midweek Herald is pure PR.

One short letter about losing community hospitals, a front page lead story on rent hikes for Honiton Rugby Club, with no coverage of the rent hikes at ALL sports facilities on EDDC land throughout the district, then mostly lots of pre-packaged press releases from local sources. Of course, with the weekly mention of the Thelma Hulbert Gallery.

NOTHING on the district’s fight to keep hospital beds open.
NOTHING on Hugo Swire’s parliamentary debate about local health services last week.
NOTHING about their MP Neil Parish’s view on the situation.

Journalism? Awkward questions? Not on your life. No boat-rocking, move along here, nothing to see, that’s just a tiny iceberg in front of us, nothing worry about … oh, look, kittens!
