McNeil Comments on Local Newspaper Week
Commenting on National Local Newspaper Week, MSP for Greenock & Inverclyde, Duncan McNeil, said:
"The Greenock Telegraph is as much a fixture of local life as the Lyle Hill or the Battery Park. The figures show that, despite the challenges posed by television, radio and the Internet, Inverclyde people still turn to the Tele for their night's news.
"It is also a window on our community and this gives us a unique opportunity to present all that is positive within the area to a wider audience.
"I will therefore be tabling a motion in the Scottish Parliament, marking Local Newspaper Week and recognising the contribution local papers make to their communities."
