Reach to have local news title covering every county in England and Wales by end of 2021
Reach has claimed its regional news titles in print and digital will cover the entirety of England and Wales for the first time by the end of 2021.
The publisher will this year launch online Live newsbrands in seven areas where it does not currently have a presence – Norfolk, Suffolk, Dorset, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire – joining 19 new sites that went live in 2020.
Timeline
Darlington, North Devon, Weston-super-Mare and Rutland will also get new dedicated newsbrands. Some of these will be standalone websites and others will sit as new channels within existing sites.
