Labour's love lost?

Al Jazeera English TV

Once again the left-wing Tribune's future is uncertain. Why is it, asks a former editor, that publications of the Left often fail to thrive?

A former editor of Tribune observes that the left-wing publication’s future is once again under threat and asks to what extent is the permanently cash-strapped years of Tribune’s existence and its possible closure a measure of a decline amongst the political weeklies. "There is an uncomfortable truth for the Left, and this at a time when the future for the niche market weeklies looks a good deal more promising than it does for many daily newspapers. It is that for the last 30 years, magazines of the Right, such as The Spectator, have tended to prosper, while New Statesman and Tribune, and on the Communist left, the daily Morning Star, have slowly declined."
