Newsquest is launching a new weekly title for Blackburn The Post, which will be distributed to 10,000 homes, will be a weekly sister newspaper to the daily Lancashire Telegraph, which covers Blackburn and the wider East Lancashire community.<\/p>\n

Whereas the Telegraph will continue to provide a daily diet of hard news, council coverage and sport, The Post will concentrate on human interest-style news stories and features from the more affluent areas of the local area.<\/p>\n

It will cover districts such as Darwen, Feniscowles, Lammack, Langho, Lower Darwen, Mellor, Pleasington, Pleckgate, Rishton, Wilpshire and Whalley, Newsquest announced<\/a>.  The Post will promote the Lancashire Telegraph and feature snippets of business, nostalgia, entertainments, fashion, travel, health and education coverage.<\/p>\n

It follows the launch of a similar title in the Bolton market in February last year. The Bolton Post is a sister free weekly title to The Bolton News. It has been received positively in the community and become a strong commercial success in its first 12 months, Newsquest said.<\/p>\n

Group editor Ian Savage, who oversaw the launch of both new newspapers, said: “The Post gives us the opportunity to reach a wider audience and new readers, as well as promote our daily newspapers.<\/p>\n

“The Post is significantly different to the dailies – it has no crime, court, council or sport coverage which the daily titles cover in excellent fashion already.<\/p>\n

“Instead, it gives readers news about people and events in their areas, at the same time enabling advertisers to reach new customers.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
