Hi neighbours. Let's talk.
We're changing the Marlborough Express and we want your input.
We've been part of this place for 150 years but the way you, our readers and advertisers, operate is changing and we have to change too. Digital audiences are growing fast and revenues for daily papers won't sustain daily papers every day.
So we want to talk about what we should do.
We want to be clear; we're here to stay. But we need to talk about how we secure the future.
Take a look here at some of the issues.
Then we'd love you to have your say. Have it here.
