philliggi Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 As good as this news is for the town, let's be honest, the circulation numbers are still going to be considerably low. How many of those on here that didn't buy it before it went bust will buy it now it's being re invented? I bet it's not many. Most rely on the internet these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The online subscription was too expensive. As I recall it was initially set at about 90% of the print version price. I do believe in paying for journalism, but if you don’t have print and distribution costs, your paper should be a lot cheaper right? Besides, I don’t live in Oldham so I don’t feel that guilty. The Grauniad’s policy is similarly insane but in the other direction. I used to pay 50p a day for the print version, but it’s now about £15 a year for the online version. That’s not enough if you want quality journalism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longtimeblue Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Echo what's been said. Sad when it went but but I've contributed to its demise by not buying it for 10 years (being on here and hearing about Latics that way has probably played a big part in that to be honest). I'll probably make a conscious effort to get a few a more now but if it wasn't feasible before, I can't see how it's going to be sustainable a few weeks later.

Well I’d guess they won’t have a final salary pension scheme for a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard it’ll be weekly on Thursdays, which was historically the Chron’s biggest circulation day (because of the property pages).

So that's 3 weekly papers? Bought the Oldham Reporter last week, not exclusively about Oldham but the raft of league tables covering non league amatuer and junior football are superb.

LaticMark Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 The Oldham Chronicle is set to return as a digital title.
