A new free bi-monthly magazine has been launched covering in-depth news from across Gedling borough.
This is Gedling was published for the first time last week and residents can now pick up a free copy from a number of venues across Gedling borough – including most bars, leisure centres, medical centres, libraries and takeaways.
The magazine features forty pages of news, features and lifestyle articles all about the borough.
This is Gedling has been created by independent publisher Swift Publications, with support from the team at Gedling Eye.
Magazine owner Justin Doddy said he decided to publish the magazine after spotting a gap in the market.
He said: “Digitally I think the borough is pretty much covered but there wasn’t really anything on the market covering local news in depth in print.
“Not everyone can get online or access digital news so hopefully now they can read about news in their neighbourhoods the old fashioned way.
“Also, I think people still like to sit down and read something that they can hold in their hands rather than just via a phone or tablet all the time.”
Mr Doddy added: “I hope people will pick up one and let us know what they think.”
The free magazine is being supported by local advertisers.
If you can’t find the magazine at a local venue you can access it via their website here: https://thisisgedling.co.uk/our-magazine/
