"from other local news sources"
Sep 24th, 2016, 4:47pm
 
I just cut and pasted this from the BBC South news page today.  I would love to know why someone thinks this should be on the BBC Internet News pages?  And what would the two individuals, Monty and Tony,  whose death notices were posted in the Romsey Advertiser think if they knew they are now internationally famous?

Of course, this is a serious issue in which the BBC is being made to compensate local news media for stealing their trade  (my words) but is it really where the Beeb should be heading?   And who judges just what should be repeated and what should be left out. Often the quoted "stories" are restaurant reviews or even "property of the week" which I find highly suspicious and open to question.
