I actually suspected it would be, given the prominence in other JP publications. It's the online difference that's puzzling. Or not really. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17187#post-237142 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 16:01:10 +0000 Stickman 237142@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's on the front page of the print edition with a double page spread inside. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17187#post-237135 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 15:05:14 +0000 crowriver 237135@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Edinburgh is <em>different</em>. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17187#post-237132 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 14:46:55 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 237132@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So Johnston Press has today been publishing an very good investigation into driver sentencing following road deaths:</p> <p><a href="http://www.johnstonpress.co.uk/media/product-news/jp-launches-investigations-unit-deliver-hard-hitting-news" rel="nofollow">http://www.johnstonpress.co.uk/media/product-news/jp-launches-investigations-unit-deliver-hard-hitting-news</a></p> <p>It's the headline item in i and every JP local paper website I'm aware of, except one.
