Two local news websites in Wales are set to launch in print this month as they seek to fill the “gaping hole” in regional coverage caused by editorial job cuts.

The Caerphilly Observer and Port Talbot Magnet, located in towns 30 miles apart, are both due to release printed editions.

Caerphilly Observer founder Richard Gurner has been able to make the transition into print because of a rural development partnership grant from Caerphilly County Borough Council.
