Newcastle Fans Forum: What The Answers Really Mean

3. NCJ Media

Question: "Has the ban on NCJ Media been lifted and are they now allowed free speech without the ban being re-imposed?"Answer:

"The board confirmed the ban has been lifted and that it is rebuilding its relationship with NCJ Media. The board stated the media group has absolute editorial control and that the club simply asks for balance in its coverage. The club noted that a vocal minority of supporters on social media heavily criticise NCJ Media and its journalists when articles are positive about the club, which in the board's view puts pressure on them to write critical pieces to compensate."

What it really means: We now have creative control over NCJ Media and will be the ones to tell than what they can/can't publish. Lee Ryder will continue to write about how great John Carver is till this current owner leaves the club as you all know he will be given the job in the summer on a permanent basis, right?
