And unsurprisingly the rightwing #Reform supporting local rags that are the Eastern Daily Press and Norwich Evening News (both Archant) have zero reporting on #Norwich #Pride today, despite the huge turnout that filled the city centre. Local news is dead to anyone on the Left.

Just been messaging a friend who also attended the parade who cannot understand the complete media blackout of Norwich Pride today. It’s unprecedented…and eerie.

@JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social nothing on Anglia TV either but they are also notoriously bad on not picking up on anything happening at a weekend, plus a large fire in Essex and a stabbing in Luton appears to have taken up much of their resources.. It may not even be that the local media is *that* friendly to Reform, but the right wing hand them ready made content on a plate (similar to the blue light services) rather than them having to use resources to deploy reporters to where something is actually happening.

@JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social How things change : I haven't seen the EDP since I grew up there in the 60s /70s, and then it had a liberal editorial line & was one of the few papers to condemn the British invasion of the Suez Canal in 1956. Part of the erosion of the free press.
