This week: Local Rag
Every week more than 30 million people read their 'local rag.'
Jeremy James and a Man Alive team evaluate the changes with a look at two weeklies. The Bedfordshire Times is now technologically more advanced than most national papers and its former reporter Frank Branston won the Provincial Journalist of the Year Award for his investigative Stories. The Craven Herald and Pioneer celebrates its centenary at Skipton, Yorkshire, this week. It is the traditional weekly: still with adverts on the front page, a corps of voluntary correspondents and its editor, John Mitchell, at 75 has been with the paper for 50 years.
