Their latest spiffing wheeze was to tell people on social media that the Regatta was today and tomorrow leaving a lot of people turning up on the promenade and looking quizzically around earlier. I don't know if it was in the actual newspaper itself.

I don't think they have anyone specifically covering Dover at present. Jordan Bluer was the last one and he was trying to get the story behind "Love Dover" but kept being referred to a PR company who just gave him bland statements so he gave up and now works for Kent Police as press officer.

I think many locals lost faith in them under Findleys leadership.
The paper made headlines following cllrs around the country harassing them often without reason.
Whilst at the same not looking at stories they were producing elsewhere.
I recall a picture with a story on the then south kent college, the picture was of somewhere completely different.
That happened often.
The combination of these put people off.
Getting any story on Love Dover will take some doing
