Letterboxes across Teesside are seeing a new voice for the region drop through this week.
The Teesside Lead is now in print as the first edition is published.
More than 10,000 people will receive the latest local edition of The Lead.
From digging into what killed the crabs, to a detailed look at the Mayoral election race and the great work being done to support some of Teesside's most deprived the print edition brings together The Lead's features all about Teesside life. You can see an online version of the print edition here.
The newspaper contains two sections - the majority of the newspaper is given over to local news, features and opinion - with the back half of the newspaper containing the best of The Lead’s national content including long-form features and opinion. You can see the print edition here.
Lead Editor (North), Ed Walker, said: “We’ve had a great response to the launch of The Teesside Lead and this paper, packing in the best of our weekly email newsletter, dives headlong into what’s being faced across Middlesbrough, Stockton and the surrounding towns."
In total, The Lead plans to print 200,000 newspapers during 2024 across 10 towns and cities in the North of England, with two print editions of each newspaper aimed for 2024. The aim of the printed edition is to build a direct connection with readers in each town and to drive subscriptions to the weekly newsletter in each town, and in turn, the national newsletter which has broken through 50,000 subscriptions.
