Today in Guardian, interview about new editor of Daily Express. Very interesting take on immigration and past policy during referendum. Much to come back to when there is more time.
Background, Reach was Trinity Mirror. Printing resource needs more titles as circulation declines. Expect more of this sort of info exchange with Guardian, also printed by Reach. Contract for five years from 2018. Look at a graph and guess on UK total newspaper print requirement in 2023.
Mail is maybe shifted from what it was. Backing May deal on Brexit seen as moderate?
Sun and Telegraph still on the case.
Apparently UKIP is too right wing / racist etc but Brexit Party and Farage gets no critique so far. things may change. Sample story.

Back to referendum, forward to Trump UK visit
Trying to think more around the story, not just news events. Or the situation, there is no story. Not sure, see blog trying to understand " the coming crisis of cognition" .
Blog has been mostly about Brexit but starts with the newspapers, Fleet Street. They are writing about Trump visit to UK coming up in June. Seems to help explain how the referendum happened. Also events such as Trump election may fit.
Sunday Times reports that Boris Johnson may dine with Trump. How long has this been going on? Breitbart links to Trump and Brexit. Waiting on further study for detail.
Observer background on US / UK diplomacy but not much on the time just after Trump elected. Farage offered to act as a UK envoy. FO upset. As memory serves the State Visit offer was speeded up as catchup. Meanwhile Michael Gove was working as a journalist for Times and got an interview at Trump Tower. Was Murdoch nearby? nobody knows but the #PlanetFox story seems to make sense. Look to the Times / Sun for best guide to Trump moves around UK.
This next bit not very confident about how to back up with evidence, but keeps returning. Brexit case is made in absence of effective messages to the contrary. Labour / Corbyn are doing a job but not reported. This is now, could have been the same in referendum. The "liberal" media don't want to cover this set of interests. Observer today, like Guardian. bashing away on what Corbyn must do re second vote. Almost no reporting on local elections or what Corbyn actually has to say. My take based on this and Twitter is that the Remain case is not going to persuade anyone. It is self indulgent, quite rude. Labour has a complex conversation going on that I think will block Brexit eventually as intended by Conservatives. But not helped by the supposed liberal end of the media. Not a failure of Corbyn, maybe a consequence. Will study this a bit more.
Local election results will be interesting. Labour could do well. TIG not standing, seems they not interested in locality, just a fairly simple pitch at Remain frustration.
This blog about cyberspace as well as Europe. Mostly this means USA media, where cyberspace comes from. Trump / Brexit getting closer to one stream on Twitter. ( Might just be me in one bubble but I think not ) also CNN on cable, much more range than BBC, imho.

BBC news note
Maybe just one sample but worth a note.
BBC Radio 4 news at 8 this morning leads with anti Corbyn story #1 from Sunday Times on antisemitism and then anti Corbyn story #2 from Observer on second referendum.
My take, there are other racism stories of interest. Corbyn supports conference policy. He prefers a general election. Most people understand this. Few will switch to another party on one issue.
This follows a week in which Farage has had more airtime on BBC than I can remember for any other launch event.
So this blog will have to do more about how broadcast works with newspapers. Even as print circulation declines. Maybe they need them so much they will invent equivalents.
More later.
