The article focuses on McDonaldization thesis and the local press in Great Britain. George Ritzer, Professor of Sociology, University of Maryland, neologises the term "McDonaldization" to characterize the highly controlled, bureaucratic and dehumanized nature of contemporary American social life. McDonaldization is concerned with the efficient delivery of goods and services to the consumer and consequently, McDonaldization requires newspapers to make news readily accessible to readers.

In the context of the local press, the paradox of constantly declining circulations that coexist with ever rising profits expresses one such irrationality of rationality.
