(Brighton) Evening Argus

This paper makes me laugh, some of the 'News' is so mundane, surely no-one actually is interested in that?! The beauty of The Argus is that it has a very dedicated following, and local people who do read it every day, every week. For them I can see a few good points; it tells you what's happening in the local area, which is good if you're a bit mobility restricted and can't gert out much - it makes people feel more in touch with the community - albeit that said community is normally painted in a bad light by commonly exaggerated behaviour of the youths... People seem to like the letters page, and the weather and listings can be pretty useful too. Catching up ...  Read the complete review

I have read the Argus since I was a child because it is the local newspaper in Brighton and Hove. I used to go round to the paper shop and ask for "Dargus." It's always there, it's familiar and comfortable and easy. That was until recently when I realised that the Argus is actually a very dissapointing newspaper.
