VISITORS to our website will have noticed a new banner inviting you to support Wokingham.Today.
Over the past six years, we have committed ourselves to providing the borough of Wokingham with trusted, reliable and comprehensive local news and sport. We are proud to be your voice in the borough.
We publish online seven days a week, and in print every Thursday, bringing you stories from all walks of life. From school plays through to big political stories that affect you, we are with you every step of the way.
We are a social enterprise. That means that we are committed to seeking out ways in which we can fully benefit the community.
We are local, not owned by an international company and Wokingham is our community too.
Thanks to a partnership with the David Brownlow Foundation, since 2019 we have been able to offer a series of internships, giving paid work experience opportunities to young aspiring journalists. Some have stayed with us, while others have used this as a stepping stone for their career.
In common with most other news organisations, 2020 has been a difficult year.
We are committed to offering news for free online – no subscriptions, no registrations, just the news you need, at your fingertips.
We have been making a digital copy of the print edition available – at no cost – during the pandemic. And we will continue to do so until the crisis comes to an end.
And we know that you want to support us. For many that includes ensuring they buy the newspaper every week – a bargain at just 70p.
For online readers who want to get behind our mission to bring you exclusive news from Wokingham borough, we invite you to make a contribution to support our journalism.
You can make a one-off gift, or you can commit to a regular subscription.
Doing so will help protect Wokingham borough’s access to local news not just through these difficult days, but for years to come.
We are privileged to be your newspaper. We’re thrilled to be a social enterprise dedicated to Wokingham borough. And we’re grateful for your support.
Phil Creighton,
Editor, Wokingham.Today
