Post Newspapers are produced by Drawing Board Productions CIC – a profit-for-purpose organisation that works to support all sectors of our local communities.
We believe a local newspaper you can hold in your hand should not be a luxury – it should be available and free to everyone. Furthermore, having access to local news and essential information should not require an internet connection.
We Need Your Help
Post Newspapers are free positive-news publications that work to provide a platform for organisations and residents to share locally-focused news and information with the wider community.
Our publications are fully independent and are not funded by an external organisation. As a CIC, we have no shareholders or commercial backers, and any profits are invested back into the organisation to increase distribution and develop a Post Newspaper for another borough.
70% of content space is provided for free but we do rely on advertising revenue to cover the cost of producing and distributing the newspapers each month.
But these costs are continually rising and we need your help to keep Post Newspapers in print and to ensure more residents within each borough have access to a locally-focused newspaper that provides relevant news and information.
