A tough week at @GlosLiveOnline - as we lost 3 colleagues to furlough - but we have continued smashing out the local news to keep Gloucestershire informed. Remember local media is not the national media - we live and work where you live and work. Here’s this week’s highlights:
We will have @HortonCitizen back as soon as we can, community news like this matters https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/gloucester-news/community-champions-podsmead-rallying-help-3993792

The amazing trio of @willdoney @MarkHalliwell1 and Chris Rust got TWO papers out again, distributed by Nettie and her team and although many of our commercial colleagues are now on furlough those who remain have been working hard to make sure that side of things keeps going
On desk @echonewsphil @Flowers_S and @EdStilliard have steered the ship, with @EdRachaelSugden leading the way via Google hangouts
Whether it is newsletters, via our app or via Facebook or Twitter, our audience knows we are there to provide up to date local news, balanced and fair coverage of national issues and the content they need. Now more than ever #buyapaper and make it the Citizen, Echo or WDP
