This week, 3rd to 9th June, is Indie News Week, the UK’s first campaign to celebrate the country’s independent news sector.
Most people aren’t aware that across the UK, what appear to be a number of independent local newspapers, are in fact owned by three very large Corporate regional news companies.
Truly independent
OnTheWight, is different. We’re independent. We are a tiny news team that’s been bringing daily news to the Isle of Wight for more than 18 years. We live locally, produce the news locally and, like you, are actively involved in and support a wide range of communities, across the whole Island.
Your voice matters
During Indie News Week OnTheWight will be holding:
- A meet-up – come along and chat with the founders
- An online survey to hear your views
- A crowdfunding campaign being match-funded by the Public Interest News Foundation
Look out for more information on the site throughout the week.
