#Newsquest / #Archant increasing fear of #crime to drive traffic - 3 of the headlines (including the #police incident and #cocaine dealer being jailed *are* from #Ipswich ), but the boy who was attacked and fatally injured was in #Scotland - there is no real reason to put this in the local news for Ipswich!

Great news for #Norwich to be hailed as one of the UK’s best #CarFree destinations for a break…and I can just imagine the wails of anguish from #Archant’s Norwich Evening News readership.

Most stories are now hidden behind a paywall, which only the most ardent of rightwing Boomers can be bothered to subscribe to.
