A round-up of some of this morning’s news and opinion:
- The Guardian’s standalone sports section is to be incorporated into the main newspaper as part of a cost-saving initiative.
- The Lancashire Evening Post has disabled the comments system on its website due to “persistent malicious posters abusing our comments facility.”
- FOI requests from the media are treated differently to requests from members of the public (in The Highland Council at least).
- Apple launches its iTunes Match service in the U.K.
- Was 2011 newspaper’s annus horribilis?
- David Higgerson’s FOI Friday (even though it’s Saturday)
The Highland Council’s slip-up in response to Rachel Stewart’s FOI request has brought about another request to The Highland Council, this time from Mr Doug Paulley, who has challenged them on their apparent failure to treat requests as applicant- and purpose-blind. The new request can be found here.
