News for Cheshire

News for Cheshire is the blog of the campaign to get the BBC news website to provide dedicated news coverage of our county, which it doesn't do. Currently, users of the BBC's news website have to hunt on the pages for Merseyside, Manchester and Staffordshire if they want Cheshire news. Other contributors are welcome, just get in touch if you'd like to write for the campaign.

Week-old news is not news!

BBC Online - please take note, if a story is more than 24 hours old, it's not news (unless you are running an update to an earlier story.

The news that the road around Chester railway station has no markings is old hat. It was published in the Chester Chronicle on Friday 11 January. That's a full 7 days ago. It's not news.

Bad enough that the BBC publishes so few news stories from Cheshire, but there is really no excuse for running a story that is no longer a story.
