Do you have a question about this website?

---

The answer may be here among our frequently asked questions:

Q: What is the phone number for my local newspaper?
A: Click on the links marked "Daily" or "Weekly" (newspaper) in the boxes on the right-hand-side of this page to find the telephone number you require.

Q: I have a story for my local newspaper, can you publish it?
A: HoldtheFrontPage is chiefly for journalists and is not a local or regional newspaper. Please click here for contact details for your local paper.

Q: How can I become a reporter?
A: Organising work experience at a newspaper is the first step.
Getting your face known around newspapers, working for them whenever you can and then getting a job can be more important than pre-entry qualifications.
Most companies will organise training, either in-house or on block-release courses, and they usually ask for A-levels as a minimum requirement.
There is no minimum starting salary as all newspapers pay both trainees and senior staff according to their qualifications, experience and potential.
The National Council for the Training of Journalists or National Union of Journalists can offer career advice.

Q: How do I search for an article on the website and how far back does the archive go?
A: To search for any article on the website, simply enter a keyword (eg a name, place or, if you know it, part of the story's headline) into the Google search box in the left-hand menu bar of the site. The archives go back to when HoldtheFrontPage was launched in 2000.
