Blogs and Newspapers
From the Cumbria News & Star newspaper today:
We’re looking for people who want to keep a blog or online diary for the News & Star website.
The News & Star website is viewed by thousands of people every day and a blog could be a great way to tell the world about your life or work.
Blogs are online diaries or opinion columns which are updated online and have attracted loyal audiences as their popularity on the web has grown.
Blogs on the News & Star site could be opinionated columns or a chance to offer people an insight into your life.
News & Star deputy editor Nick Turner said: “We would like to have a diverse range of voices on our website and offering to host blogs in this way will give people the chance to have their own corner of our website where they can let off steam or record their lives.”
The News & Star will not censure the content of any blogs unless content is libellous or offensive.
If you are interested in writing a blog please email
Where’s Cumbria, you ask? It’s in northwest England, and the News & Star has a circulation of about 27,000 in places like Carlisle, Annan, Appleby, Aspatria, Brampton, Brough, Cockermouth, Egremont, Keswick, Kirkbride, Maryport, Penrith, Silloth, Whitehaven, Wigton and Workington.
And, from HoldtheFrontPage.co.uk:
The News Shopper has become the ’News Blogger‘ with the launch of a new section of its website dedicated to readers’ web logs.
Readers can now contribute to the newspaper’s website with anything from diaries of their lives to their own commentaries on local and national issues.
Digital news producer Simon Bull said: “I’ve noticed that blogging is becoming bigger and bigger and I’m always looking for new ideas and ways to expand the web only content of the paper.
The News Shopper is a series of eight West London papers “delivered weekly to around 350,000 homes in the boroughs of Dartford, Gravesham, Bexley, Lewisham, Greenwich and Bromley.”
