Local newspapers are on the decline, facing a lack of advertising, they have cut back on reporters, which lead to poorer quality reporting and lower readership. Many local newspapers that were around years ago have therefore closed down or been bought out by larger groups, with the result that a west London local newspaper may end up running stories about east London, that aren’t strictly relevant to the name of the respective newspaper.
With no print or distribution costs, Middlesex Online, aims to report on news from the North West London area.
