I was in what used to be Jenny halls last week and noticed a pile of polish newspapers, i asked if these were popular and the guy said yeh as if i was daft i sell more of these weekly polsh papers than i do 6 days of chronicles.

Does anybody read the chron these days? i get it for the jobs some weeks but rarely any other time a shame really as kid i used to always read me dads. but i think that as i stopped smoking i have no reason to go into a local shop and pick one up.

Is this the reason kids literacy isn't meeting goverment targets

I must say that i read their online version nearly everyday, it's free , easy to use and doesnt leave black ink on my hands.

Does any body think that the standard of journalism has dropped dramaticly i was reading the Chronicle the other week and there on the front page sub headline a whopping great spelling mistake,

can't remember exactly what but it was something like,

Kitten gets electric Shack

I mean these companies with their centralised offices at the top of canary wharf are not really bothered about there products anymore no wonder the circulation is dropping.

Since 2000 the Chronicle is selling nearly 50,000 les copies per day it may even be more than that now as the latest figure haven't come out.

Have always read the journal it's great for business and deserves the awards it gets for fighting the cause of the Northeast in more discerning way i love the new think (northeast) first campaign and it battled real hard for the Northern Rock though it did seem to whimper out a bit after a while i wonder why that was did the local labour MP's threaten to halt any future leaks for exclusives.

Unless your looking at the BOIrths deaths and marriges, i;m sure property incvestors buy it just to check on houses that might be up for sale

My Gran always used to read the births and deaths in the Chronicle lol. I get the chronicle maybe one or two times a week just to see if I know anyone in it, but never read the births and stuff. As far as regional papers go, I think its a decent read.

In my eyes its the heart of Tyneside! Great to hear the paper sellers shouting "RONNY GILL":)

Seriously though the chron is good for something i knew a guy once who used to say his half hour reading the Shields Gazette (he was from Jarra) was his Island in the Day, i.e. that he got total peace when reading the paper nobody bothered him can't say nobody bothers me when i'm on BBC.co Dot. so if that is true then i suppose we could all do with reading the paper.
