Walsall Observer : ウィキペディア英語版 | Walsall Observer
The ''Walsall Observer'' was a weekly newspaper, published in Walsall in the West Midlands of England from 1868 to 2009. == History == Founded October 24, 1868〔British Museum Dept. of Printed Books ''Catalogue. Supplement: Newspapers published in Great Britain and Ireland...'', 1905; p. 330〕 by brothers John and William Griffin as ''The Walsall Observer, and General District Advertiser'', it became a regional weekly. By 1962, as the ''Walsall Observer and South Staffordshire Chronicle'', it was the only surviving paper in Walsall, having absorbed such competitors as the ''Walsall Advertiser''.〔House of Commons. ''Parliamentary papers'' Volume 21; p. 416〕 By 1990 it had become a free newspaper.〔Benn Business Information Services. ''Benn's Media Directory, 1990'' p. 190〕 By 2006, it had gone from nine journalists on staff twenty-five years earlier (i.e., circa 1981) to one senior, one trainee, and an editor shared with two other weekly papers; and, the National Union of Journalists charged, was reduced to a situation where "the paper largely regurgitates submitted material and press releases with little or no challenge.".〔House of Lords Select Committee on Communications. "The ownership of the news: Evidence, Volume 2" The Stationery Office, 2008; p. 106, 146〕 In 2009, owners Trinity Mirror closed it down along with several other Midlands weeklies. Former reporters for the ''Observer'' include David Ennals, Baron Ennals; Steve Green; Jane Kelly; and Richard Tomkins.
