Description

Fleet Street was once the nerve centre of British journalism. Now the departure of the Press Association, the country’s biggest news agency, leaves just one tiny office belonging to a Scottish paper. Brian Ging marks the decline of a national institution. Speaks to Ron Paton, one of few remaining journalists; John Vance, pub landlord.
