The proposed closure of the press hall in Barrow is a worry.
Loss of 28 jobs to do with the actual printing of the paper by moving this to Carlisle indicates something that should concern us all.
I've heard statements of disbelief that anyone reads the Mail because of much of its sensational style of head line but some of the journalists behind the news are great.
What concerns me is the fact that the Mail is owned and run by such a large money driven organisation with little thought for local people.
If there's a better business opportunity elsewhere, on feels, the owners will be off without a thought for our communities and the journalists that feed them.
Journalists can help us think and act about the issues around us. They have a very important part to play in our communities. We must find a way of paying them a reasonable wage for what they do which is independent of the which seems to be "the fast buck".
