LOCAL newspapers are under increasing pressure which has been worsened by the coronavirus pandemic.
More than ever, local newspapers such as the Reading Chronicle are vital in keeping readers up to date with changes being made in the community due to the crises.
The Times has shown its support for local papers and said they are "at heart a fourth emergency service".
You can support your local paper and provide a lifeline to your neighbours by joining in with our campaign #buyyourneighbourapaper.
As your local press we want to support you during these difficult times, join our dedicated Facebook community group covering coronavirus to stay up to date with the latest news and advice. We also want to hear from you about the heroes within the community helping to fight back against the outbreak. Click here.
