Plaid Cymru Assembly Member fears cut backs
Carmarthen East and Dinefwr's Assembly Member has spoken out on the proposed cut backs at Carmarthen's premier local weekly, the Carmarthen Journal. Rhodri Glyn Thomas has spoken of his concern at the growing trend of journalist cut backs.
Mr Thomas said:
"I am appalled by intentions of major cut backs in journalistic staff on a number of national and regional papers throughout Wales. The Carmarthen Journal is an essential paper offering the people of Carmarthenshire an insight into both local and national news."
Mr Thomas added:
"The journal has always adhered to the highest standards of journalism and it would be a very sad day for Carmarthenshire if essential resources were withdrawn from it. The Carmarthen Journal has promoted the Welsh language through its Welsh language section and it would be detrimental if this support was lost due to cut backs."
