Could the current coronavirus 'emergency' prove terminal for the Ormskirk Advertiser?
Editor Adrian Short's putting a brave face on it for the moment with this message to its hundreds of readers in yesterday's paper but the truth is that with many of those readers 'of a certain age' its current sales of c.900 copies a week could fall further still in the next three 'lockdown' months - or however long the pandemic's restrictions last.
This week's 48 page paper has a paucity of real local news from the town and its environs - gone are the days when it covered parish councils and the like, reporting real 'grassroots news' in its 'When women meet' column, had a lively readers' letters page and lots of photos recording the very fabric of Ormskirk life Thursday by Thursday by the likes of John Cocks, Ken Jackson and Martin Snape.
Of course, regular readers (and there aren't many left) will remember when if had a proper office on Church St., a team of dedicated reporters for the town and the west Lancashire parishes and didn't have to rely of FB and the like for copy.
