Andrew Gilbert Wauchope Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 In the BBC Scotland football gossip, it leads with "Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson begins recruitment drive for Scottish Premiership return..." and then says "Meanwhile Edinburgh rivals Hearts have already sounded out potential new signings ahead of their impending return to the Scottish top flight. (National)" Normally, it has a specific paper link. Anyone know what they mean by "(National)"? That said, I guess it's hardly news. I'd have expected RN and CL to have been planning both re-signings, new contracts and possible new players long since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Gilbert Wauchope Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Could 'National' be the paper 'The National'? Stuck here in Englandshire, it's easy to miss things. Like the establishment of a new Scottish newspaper that I took an online subscription to when it first came out. In the words of the the former Thailand national anthem... (altogther now) "Ohwha Ta Ner Siam". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Gilbert Wauchope Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 i don't get the thread. Well, firstly, it's pointing out the coverage of RN scouting for new players for the Premiership. Secondly, me being a bit slow, I hadn't twigged what the Beeb meant by National. Thirdly, it got eased into a referendum-like "you lost, get over it" type thread. Fourthly, I wish I'd never bothered asking.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oldcastlerock2012 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Newspapers in the year 2015 Papers that have been running for years and years is understandable but establishing a new paper in 2015 So starting a new newspaper - incredibly rare these days - and instantly getting a bigger circulation than a well established is a bad thing? Odd. I'd say more it's a sign that the new paper is filling a gap created by the incredible bias of the existing papers. The National is pretty thin and is finding its way but as a new paper that's to be expected. At least it's up front about its editorial stance, unlike the Record and Scotsman that pretend to be balanced papers but are anything but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy if I got an immediate circulation of that volume having launched a few months back. It's a decent paper tbh, a bit more analytical than some of the competition.
