A journalist for the charity magazine Third Sector is looking to launch a charitable magazine in London.

In an interview in this month’s Press Gazette magazine, David Ainsworth, 35, said he was inspired by his experiences working as a local newspaper reporter for the Northcliffe-owned Brentwood Gazette between 2005 and 2007.

‘It was a good paper, very well-respected,’he said. Ainsworth’s job involved covering the outlying community of Wickford, a town of 32,000, which received its news in the form of a five-page slip edition inserted into the main paper every week.
