Excellent behind-the-scenes at Racing Post HQ video on the RP website.
I’m sure we obviously didn’t see the warts and all version but it did give a flavour of what is involved in producing the paper.
Wonder where they hid the cases of wine with the "From Victor" labels on, while Lee was doing his rounds
Maybe in Bruces’s office 
the camera never went in there. 
Was an interesting enough piece I suppose. Although all that effort and so little content. Granted you could say that about most newspapers….
I had to allow myself a wry smile when they mentioned "beating the PA" with the Moore / Conduit story – bearing in mind they are increasingly using the PA more and more for their news and even race reports.
Nice to hear Millington come out with: "At the end of the day there’s always an end product"… just a week after he launched a ZERO-TOLERANCE campaign on cliches in the media.

Anyone using the PA for factual information like race results, SP’s, dividends might as well try using wikipedia – they have roughly the same accuracy level.
…no mention of the computer system that was **** and drove people bananas with crashes; the vulgarian editor; the insanely pedantic old timers from ‘the Life’; the egos; the banalizing (can i use that word) of the sport with dreary and ‘safe’ opinions; the terror of libel law the ignorance of it; the poor communications and man management; the headlines that seemed to have any spark of interest strangled from them…
