Having bought my Uncle a newspaper of the day he born in 1942 for his birthday last year I realised it only had news, no gossip or scandal or foreign trivia. Although the war was on so that was probably made a difference, but if that happened now would the papers actually sell if it was proper news? |

I stopped buying papers when they stopped reporting NEWS and started all this race to sell more papers than anyone else as is the case today, that was around 1970 |

I used to buy the Guardian - then noticed adverts for 'escorts' in the back. (this was about 1985) |

Sadly its all the ads in the papers that keeps them going, not how many they actually sell. |

Think probably during the war newspapers (while not being censored) were only printing facts after the event, unless items printed were thought to be unpatriotic. |
