Advantages: Very good for local sport

Disadvantages: Not fantastic quality

The evening chronicle is Newcastle's most popular newspaper (by a small margin) and is a good read despite not being the best written of papers.

Released in the evening, the paper is great to pick up if you see something during the day on your travels and want to know what went on. Its usefulness is also enhanced by the dodgy politicians these days. Being constantly bombarded with flyers from the local councillors is confusing and this paper helps to clear up what is really going on in the area.

The sport section is also very good and I find it very useful for getting information on happenings at Newcastle Falcons which does not tend to get a large amount of national press.

They are active in the community which always a bonus, so they often go out to schools and describe what choosing a career in journalism means. They also tend to do a lot of low key stories with photos of kids in, this is good because I think it makes a kids week to see themselves in a newspaper.

Summary: I don't buy it everyday but enjoy it when I do
