Newsquest CEO Henry Faure Walker called it "a cynical move": “I’m not surprised by their behaviour but it’s disappointing that Meta is retreating back to their ivory tower leaving brilliant community journalists out in the cold.” pressgazette.co.uk/platforms/meta…

So good to spend time today celebrating the graduation of #Newsquest's latest stars from our 15 month DIPLOMAiQ digital marketing programme run for us by Ascento. All with distinctions. Bravo! #Growinglocalmedia

Diverting money to compete in a market well-served by commercial publishers will simply, in the long term, reduce choice. How can the rest of us experiment with monetisation models when a cash-rich BBC can simply follow up our stories and provide them on a free-to-access site?

I don't really fancy a world where the only source of local news comes from the BBC, alongside the occasional plucky hyperlocal, but that's where we will finish up if its aggressive expansion is allowed to continue unchecked.
