Some have popped up as well because they see a gap. The demographics of counties have changed. Where two major urban centres might go across county boundaries, they do not get represented perhaps in the traditional local newspaper, and a title sees a space in the marketplace and they flood it with local advertising but the content is atrocious. I am asking who the witnesses represent. They have set out their stall here today of going with high journalistic standards. That is not replicated across perhaps other titles within the range. Is that a fair point to make?
