Imagine Armagh I was a newspaper...
Imagine no more!
Good morning, readers. This is a bit of a novel one and an idea on a whim. There’s something to be said about a good old fashion newspaper – it’s how my career began. Of course times have changed but the makeup of a front page is something I greatly miss.
But it doesn’t stop us from creating a front page minus the 50-odd pages we’d need to fill – and the obvious distribution, printing and general cost limitations that come with that.
For the foreseeable future, imagine us a twice-weekly publication that has its very own front page. This is our first. We’d love to hear your thoughts.
