i have been reading the somerset county gazette for ages now, even long enough as a decade and i say it is going down hill fast. the local events used to be many pages long but now it has squeezed itself into a little protion which i consider as being the same size as the "whats on at the cinema" column. i turn to the first few pages i see adverts for window cleaners, decorators ETC. i turn to the middle page and see many pages of car show room ads and such stuff. now then i do not believe that the somerset gazette is for the public any more i beleive it is for the main man in the gazette office and his hefty bank account. the price has rosen many times, ...

When the Youth of today do wrong it gets in the papers. When they do good it hardly gets a mention, so it is good to have a local rag that when someone young does good it gets a mention in their paper. The Somerset County Gazette is the local weekly paper for Taunton in Somerset area and outlying villages.

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.
