Reading Chronicle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Reading Chronicle is an English local weekly newspaper covering Reading and surrounding areas.

The paper is published each Thursday with three distinct geographical editions, the Reading Chronicle itself, the Woodley Chronicle and the South Oxfordshire Chronicle. Each edition has some local content relating to its target area, but much of the content is common. The paper is published with a broadsheet main section plus several supplements, both broadsheet and tabloid.

The Reading Chronicle is published by Berkshire Regional Newspapers, who also publish the Bracknell News, the Slough Express and several free newspapers. They are in turn part of the Trinity Mirror Group, which also owns the Daily Mirror and is the largest newspaper publisher in the United Kingdom.

The current editor is Simon Jones who was recruited from the North London Advertiser series in November 2005.

Polish edition

On 12 October, the Chronicle was accompanied by a 6-page Polish edition, titled Kronika Reading, because of it's success it has now become a permanent fixture in Reading.
