Papers. STV. BBC. Scotland News. Scotland The World Over - And you're invited to the Premiere - The Blipfoto Blog. That's right, Scotland The World Over has had its final edit and is dusting down its fancy frock ready for a glitzy premiere. In fact, we can invite you to dust down your fancy frock (actually, your warmest jacket and sturdy shoes will more likely be the order of the day), as you are invited to the first official screening. This Sunday (5th of February) the film will be premiered on the Big Screen. Yep, on the Big Screen, in both Edinburgh and Glasgow! In Edinburgh our film will be shown (at 2pm) on the BBC Screen at Festival Square. In Glasgow, there will be two screenings as part of Celtic Connections.
For those close enough, we hope to see you there! The finished film brings together 715 photos, from 32 countries, accumulated over a period of just 2 months as one film... From St Andrews Day (30st November 2011) to Burns Night (25th January 2012), we asked Blippers to send us their photos from across the world to star in the film.
And that you did. So, now, all that's left is to enjoy! Another month and another set of declining sales among daily and Sunday newspapers in Scotland. ANOTHER month and another set of declining daily and Sunday newspaer sales figures in Scotland – according to the Audit Bureau of Circulation. And says the auditing body, several newspapers have once again suffered double-digit percentage drops in their sales performance, this time between January last year and last month. Elsewhere, The Scottish Sun on Sunday has no year-on-year figure, having been launched less than 12 months ago. Its January average was 201,988, up on the average 197,319 for December.
Meanwhile, there are no longer monthly ABCs for either The Herald or the Sunday Herald following a decision in August for the papers to be part of the twice-yearly regional newspapers sales survey.

World’s Largest Oil Field NOT Found - The Mystery Surrounding the Prime Ministers Shetland Visit - Oil and Gas News.
Published in Oil Industry News on Saturday, 2 August 2014 Speculation is growing in the Oil Industry that there was more to the UK Prime Ministers recent secret visit to Shetland than has been released. The Facebook page of YES Highlands and Islands has released the following article that has gone viral on-line. You may remember the Prime Minister came to visit Shetland under the tightest secrecy ever seen in Shetland last week and the national press knew nothing about it.
Nor the local press. Buster was there as he landed at the airport at 1623 of course to take photos. Mr Cameron came to Shetland to say absolutely nothing about anything and allowed the local media 6 minutes of questions. Which he did not answer. Now you are all wondering why the PM made a very rushed, and hugely expensive trip to the Shetland Oils, missing his cabinet meeting, and just making it back to Glasgow for the Games. You're not? Well you should be. Because his haste was nothing to do with wanting to see us. Energy. Survey reveals importance of media in helping Scots make referendum decision. A new survey suggests newspapers played a bigger role in helping Scottish people decide how to vote in the referendum than social media and the campaigns themselves. Research carried out by YouGov for News UK found that 60 per cent of Scots relied on newspapers and their websites for the majority of their information on the independence debate. This compared to 54 per cent who said they obtained their information from social media and 44 per cent from the ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ camps directly.

The Smith Commission has announced that Scotland gets the right to set income tax levels (though not the tax threshold) and some powers of welfare as well. As David Cameron puts the finishing touches to his speech outlining his renegotiation strategy for EU membership, he’s been stretched on finalising the other union in his political life. The Smith Commission thought it had agreement on powers for much more flexibility on Universal Credit in Scotland.
Then, late in the day, Whitehall started a push-back. At Tuesday’s cabinet, when Alistair Carmichael read out the plans taking shape at the Smith Commission table, one after another English Tory cabinet ministers challenged the plans and their implications for their brief and their department. Theresa May was amongst them, George Osborne too. The draft conclusions were diluted in the last 48 hours much to the irritation of the Smith Commission members.
