Despite the challenges Newspapers have faced during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Reading Chronicle is reaching more and more people due to our unsung heroes -  newsagents.

Due to their efforts, our award-winning paper continues to be picked up by thousands of residents across Reading, so throughout this week we will be shining the spotlight on them.

These independent businesses have stayed open throughout lockdown to provide communities with the information they need and deserve.
