 ... heard rumours though that the paper is going to be reduced in size, great!! The County Press is made up of various sections which include Island news, sports, entertainment, classified etc. If you are looking for a job on the Island then this paper is the main point of call for most residents as there are usually two to three pages dedicated to situations vacant.

The Isle of Wight County Press......... The Isle of Wight County Press is a newspaper with all the weeks news, sort and entertainment events that happen in and around the Isle of Wight (funnily enough). It comes out on a Friday and now costs 65 pence. It is in broad sheet format, which I find thoroughly frustrating as my arms just are not long enough! I can honestly say that I think it is well worth the money because usually there are several parts to the paper and it seems to take forever to read through the whole thing. The first section of paper is usually made up with all the top stories such as large events that have taken place or ...

The Isle of Wight County Press, founded in 1884, is one of the only remaining local broadsheet papers. It deals with local issues specific to the Isle of Wight.

The IWCP comes out on Fridays and has a price of around 65p. It's seperated into a few sections including the main news pages, the 'Property Press' featuring houses for sale, the 'Weekender' - which is a smaller pull-out ...

The Isle of Wight County Press is the only 'real' newspaper dedicated totally to Island news and life. It is issued every Friday and it is a ritual of most Island residents to buy it! The only real downside is that it is so big! I used to chuckle as a child travelling across the solent on a Friday to school with everyone taking up virtually two seats on the hovercraft just so they could read their CP! I have heard rumours though that the paper is going to be reduced in size, great!! The County Press is made up of various sections which include Island news, sports, entertainment, classified etc. If you are looking for a job on the Island then this paper is the ...

Glossy, ballsy and not what you'd expect. The obituaries are funnier than the funny pieces.

Excellent for the beginner. Plenty of features. Good CD. Great value for the price. Not really for the more experienced PC user. pricey for the amount of pages.
