    The Penarth times is released weekly providing local residents with an update of local news and…read moreevents. The office, located in a small shop just minutes from the centre of Penarth's popular high street, reels out hundreds of copies every Thursday which find their way into most local supermarkets and news agents. Particularly prominent are articles featuring; local schools and their pupils, fundraiser and charity events, and local sports team match reports. The paper is well written and informative, with a broad range of news and sport documented. Furthermore, the paper is particularly good in it's support of local business and trade through advertisement and positive feedback. A good local newspaper which is an important feature of many local residents' weekly literature.

    Weirdly, the Penarth Times is now based in Barry, as its Penarth office recently closed. I guess…read moretimes are tough for the media as well as every other business, and so this publication has had to move in with its sister publication, the Barry & District News, both of which belong to the Newsquest media group. The Penarth Times is a weekly newspaper serving the local town of Penarth, just outside Cardiff, which is home to a modest population of around 23,000. The paper focuses mainly on stories of local interest, whether it's news about local businesses, the activities of councillors, school sports' team successes, charity events, and so on. It also carries quite a lot of local advertisements, announcements and letters. It is published in tabloid format every Thursday, but it is available to buy throughout the rest of the week in local newsagents, supermarkets and so on. The last time I glanced at a copy I think it was selling at 40p an issue, but it is also available to be delivered to your door on a subscription basis. I'd read a copy if it was left on the train, but I wouldn't buy one - it's not the most exciting of publications, but for local residents it will keep you in the know about all the key local issues.
