Support from Julie Stanford, Emeritus President of Brighton and Hove Chamber of Commerce

As an independent publisher I recognise the enormous value of journalists and editors; as a resident in the city and a business owner, I also recognise the value of those same journalists and editors having local knowledge if they are to produce factual, relevant content.

Whilst I understand the need for any business to keep its costs under tight control, this decision by Newsquest to move The Argus' sub-editing operation to Southampton seems short-sighted to say the least. I strongly urge Newsquest to think again and keep our journalists here in the city, where they belong.
