I have always believed in the…

I have always believed in the importance of raising awareness about issues that matter. There is a page dedicated to exposing problems (Exposed - Cheats and Abusers”), it was never about making profit — it was about informing people, sharing truth, and provoking thought. That’s why I was completely taken aback when Newsquest targeted the page with a copyright claim, despite the fact that they do not own the pictures the police do.Here is what I found unfair and deeply frustrating: • The images in question were obtained from official police sources/public domain, not from Newsquest. • Yet Newsquest issued a copyright takedown demand, effectively trying to shut down an awareness page. • Their claim seems to be less about copyright and more about suppressing an awareness platform. • There was no offer to discuss or clarify; it appeared procedural and heavy-handed.If this is how a major media group treats free expression, awareness efforts, and public interest content, then something is very wrong. Newsquest should be encouraging accountability and transparency — not using legal threats to stifle voices that are simply pointing out real issues.I hope Newsquest reviews its practices. I hope they consider: who really owns the content; why awareness pages exist; and whether suppressing them serves the public good. Because this feels less like copyright protection and more like censorship.Hopefully they will reply to numerous emails sent also.

No archives of local newspapers they own.

They do not keep archives of the local newspapers they own. How stupid is that? How can people research local/family history? Stupid.

FRAUDSTERS!

Took money out of my account on an automatic renewal when did not agree to it and gave me no notification of this being imminent like all other companies do. Took £40 for something I don’t use and don’t want and never signed up for.Also somebody called April was very rude and very unhelpful and refused any refund.Do not sign up for or give this company any bank details as others have said and 79% giving them a one star rating tells you everything you need to know!

Avoid like the plague .

If I could have given 0 stars I would have .Having taken out a subscription as a gift for a Christmas present the recipient was having issues with none receipt of magazines never .Having advised Newsquest ,what should have been an easy fix has turned into a nightmare and waste of time .The customer service is abysmal ,I was advised that emails had been sent to the recipient when they hadn't ,then given incorrect instructions to receive the missing magazines and then the had the cheek to say the recipient could access them online even though monthly receipt of the physical magazines was purchased and required. Their feedback says it all.

Impossible to register for comments

Impossible to register for opinions and comments. The first time I tried it for the Bradford Telegraph & Argus, I receive a message to say there's been a ban on my registering?!Why?!

Just lousy

Just lousy. Rubbish articles. Ads for gambling and scams. Spelling mistakes that a 10 year old wouldn't make. Endless nonsense about cafes and restaurants, always praising every new place to the sky. Polly Filler artciles ("I am one of those rare people who actually like sunny days!!!!!") and "local man lists coin on Ebay for ten million pounds." Refuse to moderate comment pages, which are a sewer of bigotry. Basically the rotten corpse of local journalism.

interview with Newsquest

I Had an interview with this company about a week and a half ago with Jermaine Cayenne and Tanya Hurley. I thought the interview was okay, Didn’t really get the opportunity to show off my skill set so i wasn’t mad i didn’t get the job. I asked for feedback to take with me to my next interview and the feedback i got back was ALL LIES. instead of being honest, Jermaine claimed I called him bro several times and was speaking in slang which absolutely isn’t true. Also said i was dressed unprofessionally which is also false as i was in a 1/4 zip and a shirt. So instead of saying - maybe i lack experience or i’m not a culture fit, he conjured up a bunch of lies.Very Very weird
