What Is A Local Newspaper?


Local - relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area, local taxes and local authorities.

A local newspaper is a news publication that is produced and distributed within a 'local' area regarding news that is occuring in the local area. They are produced in different areas of a town or city to give the area a sense of community by reporting on events that are happening in their local area.

Local newspapers are also supported by a website that can be accessed by any one who is interested in the local news of a particular area in the UK. This helps the local news become more modern which can appeal to different age ranges who may want to by the newspaper.

The different areas that a local newspaper usually covers is local news, sport, politics, culture, events and also takes interest in national news as well which includes showbiz and politics. This is because people are always interested in news that is from outside their local area. The areas that get the most coverage in a local newspaper are the main headlines and the sport which includes many different sports like football, rugby, swimming and others.
