The Market Drayton Advertiser has
been serving its readers and advertisers since 1855.
Located at the top end of town, the small team of journalists
and advertising reps is at the heart of the community,
producing around 40 pages a week of news, views, sport
and features. Comprehensive property and weekend TV guides
make it an essential buy to the 4,800 regular readers.
Printed on a Thursday evening on the presses at head office
in Ketley, the paper goes on sale on Friday mornings.
The Market Drayton Advertiser is a community newspaper
written for and about the local community. People are
our business, and we aim to include full coverage from
all of the town and village clubs, groups and societies.
The townÕs numerous schools and nurseries are major
contributors to the paper, while our Junior Sport page
is a showcase for local talent.
We have weekly columns on farming, gardening and cooking,
detailed wedding and funeral pages and our reporters attend
all of the local parish council meetings. Add to that
the hundreds of stories that you come in and tell us and
it is easy to see why the Advertiser is the only paper
you need.
Samantha Taylor has been the editor for the past eight
years, a journalist with 16 years experience who began
her working life as a trainee reporter on the Newport
Advertiser. Stints on the Shropshire Star and Sunday Mercury
saw her return to the Advertiser as deputy editor in 1992,
taking over as editor three years later. |
