IN an era when printed newspaper sales are falling the Kidderminster Shuttle is proud to still be serving the communities of the Wyre Forest each week.

The region’s favourite weekly newspaper’s mix of trusted local news, community news, sport, nostalgia and opinion continues to be as popular as ever with readers and last year we were delighted to see an increase in both our print sales and online audience.

If people prefer to use a computer, phone or tablet, the Shuttle also has thousands of online readers who visit kidderminstershuttle.co.uk for regular updates including local, county and national stories as well as live reporting of breaking news.

Shuttle regional editor, Stephanie Preece, said: “In tough times for the local press it is thrilling that the Shuttle is doing so well both online and in print.

“We have reporters on duty every day to bring our subscribers and readers the latest stories from around the region and beyond.

“The support of our readers is essential for us to be able to report trusted local news so people can get the facts rather than fake news on unregulated social media.

“We look forward to continuing to serve the people of Kidderminster, Stourport and Bewdley both in print and online for many years to come.”

Recently the Shuttle has broken major stories including how a terminally ill man was wrestled to the ground and arrested in his back garden by police.

Our reporters also revealed that the Home Office was filling Kidderminster hotels with asylum seekers and told how a local councillor was posting racist comments on social media.

Readers can get their trusted local news from the Shuttle in many ways including in print from a wide variety of retailers across the region and beyond.
