Regional Press Crisis: The views of an editor, a reporter, a teacher and management

I have done a piece for MediaGuardian today on the regional press crisis. I spoke to journalists across the industry, someone involved in teaching journalism and was briefed by a publisher. Below are uncut quotes from a former regional newspaper editor, a reporter, an academic and a management briefing which hopefully give an insight into the current state of the industry which has now lost more than 900 editorial posts since July.
You can read the Guardian piece here.
MediaGuardian is also running a blog asking Does regional journalism have a future?
Any comments welcomed.
