... features quotes of the day from various politicians and celebreties, "It happened today", (a list of various anniversaries) and "Dredge's Day" by the News cartoonist. After page 6 its back to News stories, some of which take the form of features and investigations especially if they are on major local issues. Many ongoing stories are accompanied by info boxes giving you background information and the story-so-far information. Very useful if you need reminding of what has been going on while...more

I buy The News daily for no other reason than that it is the local paper for Portsmouth and its surrounding area. That aside, the News is not bad as newspapers go. Obviously, being a "local rag" the emphasis is on local news stories, but you get a fair smattering of national and international news for your 30p. A colourful masthead above various featured contents introduce the paper.

For local news, you want a local paper. The News however, cannot quite define the line between important national news, local news and street gossip. On Tuesday we had news that a local lad has almost completed his naval training at a local establishment in Fareham. Considering Portsmouth, Gosport and Fareham are the ancestral home to Britain’s navy, is this really news worthy? Or the story of the elderly gent still delivering newspapers at 87 years. The themed sections are just as bad, with computer games "reviews" that simply state when the game is due to be launched and the theme, where is the content? To top it all, the comments ...
