Newsquest publish Bolton's main local newspaper, The Bolton News…read more The Bolton News used to be known as the Bolton Evening News; it's a newspaper with a proud history as it was one of Britain's very first local evening papers. Indeed The Bolton News is still affectionately known as the BEN in some quarters. As a local newspaper I would rate it quite highly. It can still sensationalise a little too much, but there is some good journalism there and its coverage of Bolton Wanderers, the town's Premier League football team (for now!), is excellent. Newsquest publish some other titles, including some freebies such as the Bolton Journal (which is of course mainly adverts). If you're in Bolton, The Bolton News reamins a good way of finding out what's going on locally.
