You know that we like to keep our eyes on developments at the County Press, watching the changes that they go through.
Well this week something jumped out at us – the phrase “exclusively reveal,” as in “the County Press can exclusively reveal.”
That’s not a phrase we could remember hearing from them before, so we did a little checking with Google and, to the best of Google’s knowledge, the CP has never used it before.
Why not before?
That got us thinking, why would the CP have never needed to use that phrase before?
Because it’s never needed to – it’s been the _only_ text news source on the Island for the longest time and in that position, every piece of news it’s published has been exclusive, by default, as there wasn’t competition.
With them starting to use “exclusively,” they are surely thinking that the Island’s media landscape is changing – that there are other news sources that they need to compete against.
