"Why support your local press?" asks regional publisher

June 16, 2010 - PRLog -- WHY SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL PRESS?

"Local publishing adds real character to your community. With UK streets fast becoming clones of each other with uniform outlets of Tescos, Starbucks, Asda, Inter-flora, etc... Do we really want all our news served up in the same identikit corporate manner? Local identity is best protected and expressed by local journalists. Regional newspapers and magazines have a real purpose to play, building better communities and assisting positive communication from the grassroots on up.

...Cultural values, community individuality and, of course, small business economies, can all be best served by their own regionally focused news brands."

With the powerful effect media now exerts upon our society, the control of reporting by one dominating global media provider is ultimately a regressive step. Independence, freedom of speech and even truth itself, are all best protected by independent regional publishing..."
