Fl dutchman my problem is with the Northern Echo, they are the North East newspaper of the year and so should be reporting on happenings at Newcastle as well. The only thing is that they seem to have a massive problem with MME and many of the articles are slating MME. Newcastle on the other hand always seem to avoid the flak from the Northern Echo. The Newcastle Chronicle and Journal are very localised papers and don't really compare with the Northern Echo in terms of coverage of the area.
