Local Authority is Medway’s leading local newsletter. We have been publishing for nearly two years and our mailing list of free and paid subscribers continues to grow.
We cover Medway news, politics, culture, and the weirder side of our towns. We have built a reputation for public service, digging into local stories that might otherwise be overlooked, and holding politicians of all parties to account in a ‘fair, informed and often funny way.’
Every Friday we release a free newsletter covering a wide range of news and current events to all subscribers, which is also available via social media.
We have two or three further editions each week that go out to paid subscribers. This includes a series of one-to-one long-read interviews with significant Medway figures, essays on a range of issues, event guides, local planning reports, and lots more.
We have an exciting opportunity to advertise as the sole sponsor of our Friday edition to uplift awareness about your business and ensure the citizens of Medway know who you are and what value you bring to our towns.
