102 AnonymousI believe the under-resourcing (especially on staffing) and extra pressure on reporters are a prime reason for some of the recent highly public dropping of standards. Media staff are treated almost as disposable items to be wrung out and exploited then left without any support.

105 Ian BruceWe here in Glasgow have suffered four years of Newsquest cost-cutting which has left us with a thrid of the resources enjoyed previously and 100 fewer staff across three titles. We have now taken industrial action to halt the asset-stripping.

111 Neil SterioAs a public relations professional dealing with journalists on a daily basis for more than eight years I have become alarmed at the lack of investment in journalism and the increasing pressure on reporters in particular to look for shortcuts or remain chained to their desks. Good, probing, balanced local journalism used to be a great British tradition but it has been undermined by the multi-nationals' pursuit of profit maximisation over integrity and quality. Our politicians need to be very concerned; they are not the only custodians of our democratic traditions.

125 simon woodsShould have told Cassell Collier Macmillan: lack of anything even managers bankrupted it and put me in hospital. By the way, I was induced to join it by a fraudulent lying employment contract. Resources, managers with ability and factually correct contracts.

135 derek brownI always attempt to be professional in all areas of my job but unfortunately it seems as though the hierachy of the company don't lay down the same markers which is a major disappointment for me let alone the readers.
136 Roy BaintonGood, quality journalism is the result of training and experience and thus warrants committed invetment . British journalists have led the world in the past - if our media doesn't want to be accused of 'dumbing down', then give wordsmiths the respect and conditions they deserve.

150 David W RobertsonTodays papers are suffering from a lack of proper training which produces poor quality journalism,cut backs which reduce staffing levels and fear of the sack which produces weak and intimidated journalists. Everone says that the Internet is taking sales away from newspapers.In fact it's the lack of investment by owners which produces poor products that the public do not want to buy.
