Daily Post and North Wales Weekly News

[wrex]

  The Arena holds 2,500 and has had lots of top groups which proves it can be done,the next one is Will Young in November. My gripe is why so few a question the NWWN COULD ASK, IF THEY COULD BE BOTHERED. :rage:

Like any propoganda material the NWWN prints what it wants to.     WWW

There are three editions of the Weekly News.
The General edition covers Llandudno, Deganwy, Llandudno Junction, Conwy, Penmaenmawr and Llandudno Junction.
The Colwyn edition covers Colwyn Bay, Mochdre, Old Colwyn, Rhos-on-Sea, Llanddulas and Abergele.
The Conwy Valley edition covers the area from Glan Conwy to Cerrigydruidion including Betws-y-Coed and Capel Curig.
Some stories run in all three editions, but the front page and page three always carry stories directly related to the area covered by that particular edition.
Hope this helps.

It seems to me that we only need one edition, if I buy the Llandudno copy it implies that I have no interest in Colwyn Bay news, this area is not large enough to need splitting up news wise, just do one issue, it might even save on costs?

Yes quite. The title North Wales Weekly News is rather misleading as Craigydonian says the paper only covers an area of the North Wales coast  from Abergele to Penmaenmawr and a section of the Conwy Valley.

Rhyl and Wrexham are major towns in North Wales and Bangor is a major city but are outside the coverage area, apparently.

Surely there's news happening in these areas also?

[DaveR]

That's an interesting idea. I like read about what's happening in the Conwy Valley and Colwyn Bay areas but have to use the website to do so.

[SDQ]

I always thought the NWWN covered a wider area as the name suggests and the more local issues were covered by the Llandudno Advertiser, Abergele & St Asaph Visitor & Rhyl Journal. Surely if they did just one issue covering a wider area with a section for each major town it would make more sense and increase circulation. As Dave has said, a lot of us like to read about the other areas as well as the one we live in!

They all read this forum, every last word of it 

[wrex]

  That;s right they all read the forum and Oscar but they still can;t understand why we get pee;d off with them for NOT following any of the threads up, thick or wot. D)

Pick up your Weekly News this week and will will see something a little different. (This doesn't make sense)

As always it will be jam packed with news, entertainment and sport but will have a slightly different feel. (what, no adverts and it will feel like it's made from recycled toilet paper?)

We hope you like it and look forward to getting your feedback. (You can be sure of that)

[Yorkie]

I did hear a rumour that to get a doubling in circulation this week they are making it a BOGOF.

When the Weekly News was founded in Llanrwst in the late 19th century the owners chose a title which  is generally acknowledged as being misleading as the paper has never covered a wider area than the one it covers now.

North Wales was smaller in the 19th Century!   WWW
