The Reading Chronicle is an English local weekly newspaper covering Reading in Berkshire and surrounding areas, starting off as the Berkshire Chronicle.
Editions
The paper is published each Thursday with two distinct geographical editions; the Reading Chronicle itself, and the Woodley and Earley Chronicle. Each edition has some local content relating to its target area, but much of the content is common. The paper was formerly broadsheet, but switched to a compact, tabloid format in March 2009. The previous supplements, including the weekly entertainment section The Guide and monthly Business Review are included inside the paper, as is the Property Chronicle.
The Reading Chronicle also publishes a weekly free paper, the Reading Midweek (formerly the Chronicle Extra) with an extra copy of the Property Chronicle, delivered on a Wednesday.
Catchment
The paper covers an area extending to Goring-on-Thames to the north, Bucklebury to the west, Mortimer to the south, and Twyford and Winnersh to the east.
Staff
The paper is edited by Sally Stevens and the news editor is Maurice O'Brien.[1]
Publishers
The Reading Chronicle is published by Berkshire Media Group (BMG),[2] who bought the title from Trinity Mirror in 2007. BMG also publish the Newbury and Thatcham Chronicle, the Bracknell News, the Slough & Windsor Observer and several free newspapers.
