Where the BBC axe will NOT fall...

Local papers inevitably view national and international events through the prism of their own interests. Here are two good examples. The Isle of Man Courier, under the headline Island BBC jobs are safe, reports: "Last week BBC director general Mark Thompson announced a major shake up, involving the loss of 1,800 jobs throughout the organisation. But when asked about the two Isle of Man posts, a BBC spokesman said: 'There's no effect on them.'" But Derby is not so lucky. The editor of BBC Radio Derby tells the Derby Evening Telegraph that the station is to lose its community bus.
