The NWWN's strength was always topical reporting of community activities, almost the magazine style that Yorkie suggests, in fact. They were always excellent with school news, clubs, sport and local problems, partly because they 'fleshed out' the stories so effectively and used a lot of photos. But things are changing - and not only for the NWWN. With the advent of the internet, the papers now publish online and - I suppose a lot are saying why pay? when they can get it for free.
Inevitably, I suspect, we'll see a greater trend towards even more advertising which, coupled with the fall in incomes, will mean the NWWN will struggle even more. The National newspapers are finding it pretty tough, so I'm guessing the Trinity group is just about holding its heads above water at the moment.
