A new local news publication will be launched this month to serve an area centred on Kings Cross on the boundary with Camden and Islington.
Published and edited by former broadcaster Enda Twomey, The Fleet News — named after the river that runs underground through the area — will serve the neighbourhoods of Kings Cross and Bloomsbury.
“The paper will aim to cover breaking and ongoing news stories in the area,” says Twomey.
“However it will have a number of features of cultural and historic interest, gig and theatre reviews, and of course will welcome letters from readers.”
The first articles will be published online on Thursday 28 September and there will be a printed edition out on Friday 6 October.
Initially they had planned a launch event at the Harrison Pub in Kings Cross but this has had to be postponed due to “unforeseen circumstances”. Instead a new launch event is planned for later this autumn at a date to be confirmed.
Advertisers are welcome to get in touch to support the paper and a rate card will be available when the paper goes online on launch day.
The Fleet News, is online at www.thefleetnews.com and will be available in print.
Editor’s note: This story has been updated to state that the launch event at the Harrison Pub in King Cross has been postponed due to “unforeseen circumstances”. The Fleet News eventually went online on Thursday 12 October 2023 after an another unforeseen delay.
