Newspaper campaigns against another newspaper

A newspaper has launched a campaign against another newspaper! The East London Advertiser is trying to prevent the local council-run paper, East End Life from being published, arguing that it is robbing it of ad revenue and that it's also guilty of "distorting the news". East End Life is produced by Tower Hamlets council, at taxpayers' expense, and distributed free. It began life as a consultation tool but has grown into a commercial operation that the Advertiser believes is competing unfairly with its publication. Now the Advertiser's owning company, Archant, is threatening to take the council to the Office of Fair Trading over the issue. (Via East London Advertiser)
