If information is what, as a newspaper, you are in the marketplace to sell, what kind of information is “a woman in Britain”? For one thing only, how does “a woman in Britain” differ from a British woman? Here, the most likely answer is that “a woman in Britain” is not necessarily a British woman. For, in commercial newspapers, editorial material is always involved in a losing battle with advertorial material because adverts fetch money at a much higher rate than news, features, commentaries and other editorial material. Among the problems is that, whenever you thus chop off editorial material, you must ensure that you properly bung the hole you have just created.
