Regional news is in crisis and journalists on local newspapers are resorting to cut and paste journalism, according to a new report. While this might seem like good news to PR people, who are quite happy to have their copy cut and paste into newspapers, it ultimately means that what is being produced by publishers is a substandard product. This means that less people will feel inclined to read these publications, and regional media will decline.
