Often, when the odd person says "why are you reporting this" or, "this is not a story", it tends to mean the exact opposite for the majority of readers.
Take this comment that's just dropped into my inbox regarding our front page this week, about the student protest at Oriel School:
"Well done for putting a total non story on the front of your newspaper this week.
"I find it incredible that you thought this was an actual story and a front page one at that, that managed to eclipse an armed robbery."
Now consider this - twice as many people read this story yesterday as any other on our website.
Infact, it got more hits in a single day than any other story I can remember since we launched this site in February.
If it is a non-story, it's clearly a very interesting one.
