First newspaper in 24 years launched on Island

The first newspaper to be launched on the Isle of Man in 24 years has gone on sale today, catering primarily for the people in the south of the Island.

The Southern Chronicle is a 40-page community paper, published by a Port St Mary company.

The £1 publication is the culmination of a lot of effort and pre planning from joint partnership of Quine & Cubbon printers and former newspaper editor Bill Dale.

They wanted to create a true community newspaper covering the events and people in the south, with a positive outlook on life.

It's hoped a new edition will be ready every two months, with the next one scheduled to hit newsagents before Christmas.
