The Salford Star, the award-winning investigative magazine, has moved online-only as it can no longer afford to produce a print edition

The quarterly magazine, founded in 2006, is free, delivered door-to-door, and has a circulation of 15,000.

In 2008, it won regional newspaper of the year in the Plain English Campaign’s awards. And in 2007 it was nominated for The Paul Foot Award for its investigations into Salford City Council.
