Just like to say that we get the Herald delivered. It may be nicely presented and glossy. But aside from the adverts, not much seems to be of local interest, apart from the odd input. Most of the stuff in there seems to be pulled straight from internet sites, and a lot of it most people have heard before. In fact I even jokingly asked them if I could have a job there, as i could generate them loads of stuff, lol.

I think the key thing IS local input. whether it be asking people to send in items, or asking people to be "local reporters"

OK we get local items in the LT an the Obby, but items form readers with a personal view on topics in their area could be of more interest.
Even local people giving views on their own interests.
