Welcome to the inaugural Local Newspaper Week which celebrates local newspapers and the important role they play right across Ireland. Over 30 weekly paid for titles are participating in this event which has been co-ordinated by the Regional Newspapers and Printers Association of Ireland (RNPAI).
Our famous brands are trusted and respected by thousands of people, not just in this country but due to our diaspora all over the world because of the quality and reliability of the content we publish.
We are a connector! We connect people, we connect communities and we connect businesses with customers. Going forward we will deliver the same high quality of local news, sport, information and entertainment to customers via different formats that are appropriate to their lifestyle whether it's a newspaper, magazine, online or mobile.

"Local Newspapers are a vital part of the fabric of rural life, serving to cement our links to our communities and always providing an insight into the bustling society of Ireland's towns and villages."
