Front Page News
As its name suggests, HoldtheFrontPage is in part a showcase for some of the great front pages which are regularly published in local and regional newspapers. Many of them will be in response to a big news event on their patch while others will mark a special anniversary, or a redesign. This page includes all front pages and supplement covers featured on the site since 1 January 2014.
