The irony is how the printed edition for today is OK...

Be switching online usage elsewhere unless the RP sort this quick...

wow, internet affecting newspaper sales shock...who knew? nevertheless, plenty of people still prefer/require the printed copy.


Newspapers can complain until they're blue in the face about this, but the truth is they never made lots of money via sales - sale price only just covers cost price. Newspapers have to find how to maximise their advertising revenue online,  or otherwise they'll just die.

The only alternative is to find (unique enough) content that people will pay for. In terms of RP, they have their USP and charge for premium membership areas.

Paul lost his job because he was constantly upsetting advertisers (bookies).
The advertisers keep the paper going.
Bruce therefore had no alternative but to warn him not to do it, otherwise bookies might cease spending their money on ads.
Paul resigns as a consequence on principle but found there was no other way to be heard than through the pages of the Racing Post.
Paul asks for the chance to put his views across again and comeback freelancing.
He is told 'no we are fully staffed with writers now'.
Paul put his principles first but they don't pay the bills.

So the "editor" of the racing post (small case intended) had no control of the content of his paper.He actually published the views of Paul Haigh and hated them.Paul Haigh then took the hump and resigned..

Feck me some-one grow a set of balls...

I hate the racing post (small case intended) but there will always be a case for a written paper..

I'm not sure how free speech can flourish when people call up and get their posts deleted HFT. Oh, I forget, it was the 'other' homefortea.
