For three years, the Cranfield and Marston Vale Chronicle’s website has reflected Marston Vale’s issues, desires and strengths, as well as its unique personality.
Since June 2019, this online local news service has been supplemented by a printed version, a free, monthly, tabloid-sized newspaper. Each month 10,000 copies of the newspaper are delivered to homes in Cranfield and Marston Vale.
For some locations it is the only regular and regulated local newspaper delivered to the door. The Cranfield and Marston Vale Chronicle is a high-quality (and IMPRESS regulated) news publication for those who prefer to read news printed on paper and not on a screen. The printed Chronicle gives businesses the opportunity to advertise their products and services to the Vale’s population (over 22,500*).
As well as offering ad space that is three-times larger** than that available in an A5-sized business directory. Remember, the Chronicle is a newspaper and not a directory crammed full of ads, with the odd crossword or recipe thrown in to try to add a bit of interest. The paper is roughly 50:50 news and advertisements.
Our goals are to provide our readers with relevant news and information and to provide our advertising partners the space to advertise their products and services clearly.
