Shropshire Weekly is a magazine which focusses on life and culture from Ludlow to Whitchurch, Oswestry to Shrewsbury and Bridgnorth to Telford.
It looks into everything that matters to local people, from food to films, and from modern living to past memories.
Editor Thom Kennedy said: “We are thrilled to be producing a magazine that shines a light on life in Shropshire, and that readers will find useful, exciting, bold and appealing.

"It has people at its heart, and we want readers to share their experiences, stories and recommendations about life in our county.
“Shropshire Weekly is like nothing else that exists at the moment, and will provide a fresh new voice for local people.
“We are going to be looking at the county’s food scene, the great outdoors, its sporting endeavours plus cultural life.
"We will cover stories, debate issues, and look at the best experiences Shropshire has to offer.”
Shropshire Weekly will feature regular contributors and columnists each week, from BBC Radio 2 DJ Chris Hawkins to Michelle Owen from Sky Sports, John Hughes of the Shropshire Wildlife Trust and former Shrewsbury Town star Dave Edwards.
The first issue goes on sale today across the county, and will then be published every Friday at a retail price of £2.50.
