After the excitement with the Sol Times van on the motorway this morning, I hear that the Property Post has also announced that they are closing with immediate effect.

A brief note from Ashley said that:

We would like to thank you for you clientel and custom throughout the yearswe have been publishing.
I would also like to reassure anyone who has paid in advance for their Advertising we will be contacting you directly please be patient with us.

A pity. Local newspapers are an important voice to our community, and help bring out new members to our little expat group.

The British Library has put two million digitised pages from 19th century newspapers online, taking research out of its dusty reading rooms into people’s homes.

The pay-as-you-go service brings a century of history alive from Jack the Ripper to WG Grace.

There’s a new newspaper hitting the Almería Levante region.

It’s a freebie, out every two weeks, with actual opinion pieces, journalistic news reporting and much more. It’s also going to have a substantially bigger distribution area and print run than any of the other english freebies, meaning you get a lot more bang for your buck!

It’s called “The Reader” and it has a beta version of its site up and running over at www.thereader.es.

First edition out on the 3rd of April.
