And it's all going down the drain

The link between Guardian Media and Manchester is to be condemned to history, it seems.

What waits ahead for staff at the Manchester Evening News and 21 other titles in the north-west? Who knows but I would guess it won't be the creation of too many jobs.

The good news is Channel M, Sky digital channel 203, and newspapers in Woking are not included in the £44.8m deal expected to be completed by the end of March.

I am a sentimental old soul which is why I see this as bad but realistically GMG are apparently losing too much so this does make sense.

Guess us north-west based journalism job hunters have to hope Trinity Mirror can do a decent job as they aren't too many places going at the moment even at the bottom of the ladder.
