New weekly freesheet for London
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 30 November 2009
The Guardian is reporting that a new London freesheet is being planned to fill the gap left by the now defunct thelondonpaper and London Lite, though this will be a weekly title. It’s thought the new paper, working title The London Weekly, will focus on the less newsy parts of the former daily freesheets – so entertainment, gossip, music and sport, with some light politics.
Not much is known about the exact format of the new title, nor who is involved in its creation, though its publisher is called Global Publishing Group and, according to the media pack they are circulating, they have raised £5.5 million, and plan to launch a website and online TV and radio service alongside the paper. Which all sounds rather ambitious.
Their website is due to go live just before Christmas, with the print product launched sometime early next year.
