In The Dark – and 250 of you – objected to the Guardian cutting daily radio reviews from the paper. Here’s the letter we sent their Readers’ Editor. He promptly responded, and gave us permission to make his response public:

Thank you very much for your petition. As you know you and your 250 colleagues are not alone. Senior Guardian executives are talking about ways in which this problem may be addressed as we recognise the force of the argument. As you may also know the changes were brought about by the necessity to have a smaller paper and I can’t guarantee that we will be able to find a solution. However, I can assure you that the petitioners concerns will not be simply dismissed. As soon as I know more I will let you know.

Best wishes

Chris Elliott

Readers’ editor
