My Webbs of Leverington site gets thousands of hits and I receive many phone calls, but few will put pen to paper or fingers to the keyboard, they prefer me to fire the bullets for them.

Jimbo mentioned newschat, yes I did help fellow Peterborough Newsagent John Green to set it up with the sole intention to provide information and encourage communication in the trade, at that time there were few opportunities for people in the trade for an open chat.

NFRN online is members only so access is restricted. John was open about his involvement with newschat and what it should acheive. In fact after talking to an editor of a well known trade magazine it was suggested in the nicest possible way that perhaps Webbo and Viper content were not a positive way forward for Newschat and he also assures me he is not the insider either.

As for Newsinsider being disappointed with my Conference performance relating to News International, I appreciate the sentiments stated, but I felt it was a case of being professional and using my decorum status! which hopefully was more appreciated.

Comments will only be edited or excluded if they are considered libellus, a defamatory statement or malicious.

Thank you for your comments relating to Dawsons, and you have made a valued point that I would like to post onto the site.

However, I would be grateful if you could use another identity for Webby will no doubt make people within in industry think you are the ultimate ” rogue” WEBBO, and I wish to avoid this situation croping up! I sincerely hope you appreciate the situation,

Yours sincerely,
Newsinsider.

Newsagents receiving supplies some three hours later than Dawsons, one retailer had their supply left the opposite side of the road outside a chemist shop at 8 10am!

Still give them time! after all it is News International, and they do want they like, when they like, and dont care of the consequences, because the NFRN are no longer strong enough or have the people with the credentials to fight these publishers.

One NL official has stated that the new NFRN president Solly Khonat will become the best ever,Yer right! who are they kidding? What’s the NI REASON? because he doesn’t know the news industry and he is a yes man!. And dont forget the news trade is now irrevelant!

You are right, NewsInsider, NFRN membership fees and membership numbers are at risk. However, do not forget the several thousand Dawson employees who continue to serve our businesses. It is quite likely that they will shortly be without jobs. It is they with whom I have every sympathy.
