Barking editor mad at council's 'stab in the back' newspaper launch against local press

I'm at Press Gazette again today. But here I've done a story about Chris Carter, editor of the Barking and Dagenham Recorder, who is furious that the local council has pulled its advertising from the local press and is putting it into its own "newspaper-style" fortnightly publication.
The publication, The News, from the Barking & Dagenham Council will have a staff of eight and compete for local commercial advertising. Carter describes it as "a stab in the back" by the council.
Newspaper-style publications being published by local authorities is a trend that is worrying the local press across the country.
Roy Greenslade has also done a post about the story here.
