I came across this very good news story about local newspapers. There are a lot of stories of local papers closing down due to a squeeze on advertising budgets and the threat from the BBC of a localised web presence. This story therefore comes as very welcome news for those in the South West.
A small community newspaper publishing group in the South West is bucking the trend in declining circulation and advertising revenues.
View From Publishing, launched three years ago by veteran West Country journalist Philip Evans, distributes a series of 12 weekly community titles in towns across Devon, Dorset and Somerset.
Advertising revenues for the year ending September 2008 have topped the £1m mark for the first time and represent a 24pc increase on the previous year.
