| The Ealing Gazette and its sister papers were in declines for a long time. But still at the top of the tree in terms of quality journalism throughout the 70s and 1980s the noticeable decline began in the mid -1990s. The advent of the all controlling Press Offices appearing when the Freesheet boom occurred in the mid 1980s did not help, leading to lazy spoon fed journalism which newspaper management saw as a means to cost cut. The Gazettes Sports coverage was very good, its picture quality and reporting standards really good right up to the early 90s. Sport said good for a good while longer. Same happened to almost all the other rivals and sister publications in West London and West Middlesex. Nothing compares despite all the accessibility and gadgetry. |
