There is good evidence that local councillors and politicians keep an eye on public opinion via this medium. The classified adverts are well su...more

The Shropshire star is my local evening paper, and covers the whole of Shropshire and mid wales,printing eight editions a day, six days a week. It's first every copy went on sale back in 1964, and since then has kept Shropshire residents up to date with all the local, national, and international news.

The Shropshire Star is published weekly and costs just 30p. A tabloid in size it has a full 60 pages so there is quite a lot in it. I have read a number of local or regional papers and the Shropshire Star is different from the fairly standard format of the others in that the local and national, even international news, is not strictly segregated. It is possible therefore to find a story about the recovery of a stolen camcorder in Telford next to one about NHS waiting lists. Overall this does give the feeling that local news is equal on a scale of importance with a national story. A jumble sale in Broseley is as important to some people as whether Dixons ...  Read the complete review
