Hi Grahame,
Apologies, I wrote a reply to you about the credentials of "The Local", but must have got distracted and didn't post it!
Originally launched in Sweden in 2004, the Managing Editor, James Savage, was previously a radio journalist and PR consultant. Since inception, it has opened offices in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Norway, Austria, Denmark and Switzerland with a readership of 4.5m by subscription. It's been nominated for and won several awards:
- The Local Sweden was nominated in 2009 as "Swedish Digital Newspaper of the Year"
- The Local Sweden was named in 2018 as "Digital Publisher of the Year" by the Swedish Magazine Publishers Association.
- The Local's Client Studio received the bronze award in the "Best Use of Online Media category" at the 2018 National Advertising Awards in Berlin.
The editors in each of their offices are professional journalists. For example, the editor of their Spanish office was formerly the Madrid correspondent for the Daily Telegraph.
Kind regards,
Kim
