Inside Out East Midlands - 01/03/2010

The local press in the East Midlands has a proud heritage of reporting the news close to home. But there's one story that won't be making the headlines. Local newspapers are facing a fight for their survival. Falling advertising revenue and declining circulation are making life very challenging indeed. But what do we stand to lose? Marie Ashby has been finding out. One man and his mansion and how inheriting the family home means you still have to make ends meet. Sometimes the people we least expect face tough times too and in Tissington, Derbyshire, one chap knows that to his cost. Historian Max Craven investigates ghostly goings on at a haunted hall. Plus Inside Out asks what drove three people to follow their parents into high-profile and often perilous careers. In her lifetime, Alison Hargreaves was lauded for her achievements. She was the first woman to conquer Everest without oxygen. But when she died the Derbyshire climber was openly criticised. How could she have risked her life when she had two young children at home? Yet as Simon Hare discovers, her death during an ill-fated climb hasn't deterred one of those children from following in her footsteps.
