Bristol Evening Post
The Evening Post often lends its weight to local causes, has a carefully targeted distribution policy that sees each reader getting the news most relevant to them, whilst still covering the news at a national level, and runs regular supplements.

It also had the carelessness to let Jeremy Smith go wandering off to pastures new – a tragedy!
