New dedicated paper for St Ives and Hayle launch

Oct 18 , 2012 - Thu - 8:00 am

THE CORNISHMAN is celebrating another milestone in its history with the launch of a new dedicated paper for St Ives and Hayle next week.

Demonstrating our continued commitment to west Cornwall, we have expanded our team at our office in Penzance and are now looking to add a new product into the market.

The new paper will still contain the same high- quality mix of stories from across Penwith, but will feature a front page splash, picture and teasers from inside the paper targeted specifically at our north coast readers every week.

We hope to further improve our news coverage of the area with our two reporters, Johanna Carr (Hayle) and Scott Hamilton (St Ives), digging out and breaking the best stories on the patch. The new Hayle and St Ives paper will be sold at 30 outlets across the two towns but, rest assured, whichever version you pick up, you will not miss a thing as all the stories will be featured in every paper we sell wherever you are in west Cornwall.

  • To celebrate the launch, we have a choice of four amazing offers to give away free to our readers next week: FREE chips from the Balancing Eel in St Ives
  • FREE ice cream from Mr B's in Hayle
  • FREE cocktail pasty from Philps of Hayle
  • FREE tea or coffee from Tate St Ives

We'll be in Tesco Carbis Bay next Thursday giving away goody bags with every purchase of the paper.

So, make sure you grab a Cornishman next week and every Thursday, wherever you are in west Cornwall or the Isles of Scilly.
