The Hemel Hempstead Gazette has published a weekly newspaper which not be having an office to operate in as they will be operating through computer screens. Editor John Francis says there would be face to face meetings with his collogues which is about half a dozen of staff and would be holding his first meetin gin a community centre. The company has started downcast at relinquishing the office and transforming into modern journalism as newspapers are dying out. As newspapers are dying the editor has agreed to operate his company online and organised meetings in different locations to experience the citizen journalist experiences.
- The Gazette owned by Johnston Press.
- First published in 1858.
- Until September 2011 was developed into broadsheet.
- Last available circulation figures for the paper (July-December 2012) showed it selling an average of 9,118 copies a week at 65p.
- Sister title, The Herald Express which is free.
Personally as I think print newspapers are dying, most newspaper companies are trending into online servers. Most of the audiences who read newspapers now have smartphones, tablets etc and access the news from that which is development in technology. Especially the younger demographic audiences now all access the news from their devices and only the traditional audience are said to be the ones who buy newspapers.
