British Newspapers Online
UK newspapers on the Web represent one of the best resources for tourists, travellers, visitors and local or intending residents seeking accurate information on local services and facilities. Many local and regional newspaper sites provide What's On guides, entertainment, sport, theatre, cinema and film listings, shopping and services guides, house buying and rental property pages and business directories. They list accommodation and bed and breakfast places or advertise hotels, promote local attractions, review the best pubs and beers, sports facilities and events, support their local rugby, football league, cricket and other sports teams - and, of course, provide the latest scores and results. They can also point you to help lines and emergency / information services, brief you on local history, and generally supply a portrait of the community or area that gives a sense of the place that you simply wouldn't get anywhere else. If you don't see what you're looking for on-site, you will often find that journalists in general and local newspaper reporters and editors in particular are knowledgeable and - usually - helpful folk. Almost all sites carry contact details, so that you can telephone or e-mail a request for information that can't be found on their printed or Web-published pages. In addition to Britain's national newspapers online, there are over 1,000 local newspaper Web sites to access here. [News - Newspapers] [Updated on 24 Aug 2010]
