he's the actual editor of the paper, not the sports editor

I'm biased because I worked with him but Murray Foote is actually a really good guy doing a job that's become impossible. Virtually no experienced staff left, more job cuts to come.

the way things are going, the Record will be lucky to see the end of the year. It already contains too much content that comes from the Mirror because they refuse to invest anything in the Scottish titles. That's only going to get worse.

I'll be in a minority with this view, but it would be very bad news if the Record shut. There are few enough outlets that offer a variety of different news and opinions in Scotland

yeah, the future looks bleak for the likes of the record, herald and scotsman given the decline in circulations. they must all be very marginal now in terms of profitability. if they go then that'll really just leave the regional bbc and stv output as mass market Scottish media.

Aye, because everyone who works there and who will end up in a shrinking jobs market wrote that Thugs & Thieves headline (or whichever one is responsible for the 'eff them' response).

The Record is a left of centre paper and the country needs more of them, not less. Local papers, nationals, they're all going to go down the pan.

But obviously everyone can get their news on line these days, just as you can make your own pair of trousers with a bit of cloth and a needle and thread.

Not really. We have bloggers who will expose companies who don't pay their workers minimum wage, who campaign to keep A&Es open when political parties want to shut them, who expose corruption in the government, who spend two years working on stories like MPs expenses.

Expecting an email from Avaaz in the next day or two about some of these things, asking for a signature and a donation.

If only the editor had done his job correctly instead of pandering to the Hun demographic by lying

Might be politically left in its news pages, but its sports pages are blatantly toadying to the Hun. By their own admission, the sports pages sell the paper.

The Record backed the wrong horse.

Can a country without its own media seriously consider itself to be a country?

I'm sure the Daily Mail will look after your interests.

Do what you want, as long as you're gloating, that's the main thing.

Maybe when you or your kids work in an industry that collapses you'll be happy to see your neighbour smirking away.

Or maybe you'll discover something that needs exposed or brought to a wider audience, then you'll be able to tweet it to your 70 followers or whatever.

There are few enough outlets that offer a variety of different news and opinions in Scotland
If these outlets really did offer what you suggest then arguably there might be some ray of hope, and perhaps even a shred of sympathy.

But when you have a largely unregulated industry full of piss poor managers employing a short sighted strategy with a culturally backward approach to the value of real news and worthwhile opinion then they fully deserve their fate.

Is that what's happening in the global printed media then, all piss poor managers with a culturally backward approach to the value of real news and worthwhile opinion?

Even Theresa May had recognised that local and national newspapers are essential to a democracy.

Probably quite a few folk on this board that have seen these papers campaign for their jobs and their health.

I doubt anyone would expect much in the way of solidarity etc, but folk gloating is a bit of a stretch tbh.
