No it doesn't. The MD doesn't do the letters page in the newspaper. no he doesn't.. but he has his business interests to protect doesn't he? not going to put you in an awkward situation Pete but whilst the MD might not be hands on with things at Archant towers he isnt just going to let people pan the club via the letters page is he? jas :)    Report

That betrays a lack of understanding of what went on. The EDP was effectively handed the story by Cullum,  and could not have ignored it even if it had wanted to. Having been given the story its coverage was laughably bad. To carry on with your figure of speech, it never actually opened up the can of worms to reveal what was inside. That is why, significantly, you use the phrase "regardless of what you believe" about Cullumgate. If the EDP had done its job there would not be room still for mere beliefs (and all the myths) - readers would KNOW. So to suggest that this appointment of  an Archant executive to the NCFC board might somehow hamper the coverage of a new Cullumgate is ironic in the extreme.    Report

It's in reference to politicians metaphorically standing in line on a specific issue. This message board really is down on everything NCFC isn't it? I can understand why you all hate Delia though she saved the club from oblivion then over the years pumped £12m of her own money in and introduced off the pitch initiatives to raise more money for the club. In doing this she's made your lifes a living hell because you still have to go and watch them every week. If supporting NCFC every gets as horrible for me as it is for most who post on here I'll just stop. I can say that though because I know it won't happen. I'd watch them in conference if I had to.    Report

Richard Balls was pretty much the only guy there who ever put reasoned and measured questions to the club in his columns - Adam Aiken seems to think his constant moaning works as a substitute (It doesn't).  None of the main papers have done any actual journalism on the club in a long, long time, so I don't see what difference this will make.  In fact, sadly, the most probing questions I can recall being asked of the club recently came from Radio Norfolk, when Goreham interviewed Gunn just before he was announced and basically told him that a majority of fans didn't want him as manager.  Stirring stuff - Paxman move over... -- Never mind the danger --    Report

The EDP has many many more pages covering all things non-football.... and it remains the best local newspaper in the land.... Sad that it's role is now being questioned....and equally sad that it's owner didn't anticipate this fallout.    Report

ACE...  In response to your question no I'm not naive thank you very much for asking though. What I'd like to know is are you aware that there are other news services reporting on Norwich City other than Archant & the EDP??? Are you THAT naive to think that If someone was to put a story in the lap of the EDP and it didn't get reported or it got heavily altered/censored that they wouldn't seek out another company or method of getting that story in the media??? It's not like we are living in North Korea and we only have one source for information, if there is news to be leaked from Carrow Road there are other places for it to come from other than Archant, likewise there are other people like the BBC who Peter Cullum could have courted rather than the EDP. I really don't know why people whinge about Archant... If you don't like them don't buy there papers or use their websites.  ACE wrote: I dont think he was employed in order to gain a hold on the media.  However are you THAT naive to believe that if something damaging was in the EDP's lap that just maybe someone would say "we have been told to tone this down".  Steve H wrote: I only pop on to this forum very rarely nowdays...

Maybe not ACE, but the local BBC would, Anglia would, Radio Broadland would... If there was a story that damaging it'd come out in one of those media. Then, if Archant had manipulated things a little, they'd have shot themselves in the foot. It won't happen. This is a small city and county - the truth will always out (unless you're a conspiracy theorist of course!). Where's my monkey?    Report
