There have been two new magazine launches this week in the local press as the new owners of the Oldham Chronicle put out a lifestyle title while the South Wales Argus team turn their attention to business.

Daily newspaper the Argus, owned by Newsquest, has launched The Business magazine as a bi-monthly 60-page glossy with an initial print run of 5,000 copies sent out directly to local business leaders.

Argus business editor Jo Barnes, who has taken on responsibility for the new title, said: “This is a really exciting time for Newport and South-East Wales… we are a city and region which is embracing new industries in a bid to move us forward.
