You can watch a video interview from this action (16.08.05), for viewing help see below.

Despite Northcliffe making £100 Million profits and upping its directors pay by 48%, they still want more and so have
implemented a neo-Labour sounding scheme called Aim Higher to make an additional £25 million by cutting jobs and journalism.
“The Mail on Sunday called Andy Gilchrist, the fire union
leader, a "fat cat" for his £82,000 salary. The Mail on Sunday's
editor-in-chief, Paul Dacre, receives a basic yearly salary of £690,000. Who's fat?” Wrote Paul Foot in the The Guardian – indeed!

It is of note that this attack on local media won’t good coverage
in the commercial press in Bristol – because the people with the
scissors own all the press! Sites like Bristol Indymedia are
needed more than ever to provide us with access to
information – the lifeblood of any democratic system.

You can protest the cuts by contacting the MD of
Northcliffe, Michael Pelosi – email  aimhigher@nng.co.uk
