As local newspapers go, the Greenock Telegraph is probably the best on offer in Scotland in this difficult time for print media. While others have been forced to err on the side of caution thus diluting their ability to break stories, the Tele still commands enough respect in its catchment area to be a real force. Locals are fiercely passionate about their local rag and circulation figures remain high, especially given the publication is daily. As well as excellent local news coverage, the experienced team do a fantastic job of covering local sporting sides, in particular, football team Greenock Morton. read more

The Tele, as its known down in Greenock, is one of Scotland's best selling evening Newspapers. BBC Radio Scotland read out its front page every evening along with the Evening Times and the Aberdeen Evening Express. A great triumph for such a little paper produced in such a little town. My household were subscribers for years, and getting your photo in the Tele was a right of passage for every school kid in the area. However it lost an air of credibility a few years ago running an editorial on the schools system in Inverclyde that lost the publication some respect in a few socioeconomic sections of the town. Nevertheless, the Tele is an undoubted success through the Inverclyde area and covers everything from the best Morton coverage 35p can buy and is a must for graduation and wedding photos photos of anyone hailing from the area. Need a plumber or someone to clear your loft out? The classified section is a first stop for employing local people and for a competitive price! The also run 25, 50 and 100 years ago today sections in which they print articles from the archives - a great look into the past! An institution in the area, and worth every penny! read more

The Greenock Telegraph is the stuff of newspaper legend. It continues to sell almost 18,000 copies a day (yes, it is a daily!) even in these times of uncertainty for the print media. No one in their right mind in the Inverclyde area would go or a few days without a copy of The 'Tele, as it is affectionately known as by locals. My favourite part of the paper is courtwatch. They used to have a belter of a Sheriff, dunno if he is still there, who came out with the best lines to the wee neds who appeared in front of him every day. He obviously just wanted to be quoted in The 'Tele. read more
