The Hereford Times is one of the most famous brands in Herefordshire and the Welsh Borders.
It may not be surprising. We have been here since 1832 – a very long time in business terms – and we have the tremendous privilege of being a trustworthy voice, welcome in people’s homes.
Because of our longevity and familiarity, many people still see us in a very traditional way – as a newspaper that lands on the doormat every week or is picked up by the local newsagent or supermarket.
The Hereford Times, of course, remains a printed newspaper. But that’s only a very small part of who we are now and what we want to be in the future.
Nowadays we are mostly in the digital space, posting news and information online and on social media all day, seven days a week, and using text, images, video and audio to tell stories.
Do even better with Herefordshire:
Regardless of the many publishing methods we use, we are first and foremost a passionate advocate of this community.
We empower people by making sure they know what is going on in their neighborhood. We give them the information they need to participate in the democratic process. We speak out loudly and proudly for Herefordshire and the Welsh borders.
Together with our readers, we make things possible, be it to raise money for good causes or to start campaigns.
Our goal is ambitious but simple: We want to make life here even better. But we need your help.
The traditional way that newspapers were self-sufficient was cover price and the sale of print advertising.
In the online world, we need a different approach to make the money that supports our journalism. So I ask you to take out a digital subscription to herefordtimes.com.
By now you may be used to using the site for free. But that is the only way we can achieve so much. If, like me, you think a local news brand like the Hereford Times is an important part of society, please support us.
Together we can make things even better.
