Support trustworthy, independently-owned Isle of Wight media

With readership peaking at 115,000 unique visitors in a month and over 40,000 followers on social media, our readers tell us that OnTheWight has been responsible for changing the media landscape on the Island over the past 13+ years.

What makes us most proud is them telling us that they Trust OnTheWight.

As you will no doubt have heard across the national news, people are now realising that providing quality news coverage is hard and expensive, as it takes a lot of time.

That’s either paid for by advertising, or subscriptions which are becoming increasingly common (think The Guardian, The Times etc).

Our preference is not to plaster ads all over the site.
