Roy Greenslade compares today's newspaper staff sizes to the so-called good old days: "[T]here are now two contradictory types of nostalgic Fleet Street narrative. One is wholly positive and concentrates on the relaxed regimes, the bonhomie, the expense account lifestyles and celebrates the culture of drinking. The other, wholly negative, concentrates on over-manning, laziness, profligacy and decries the culture of drinking."
