Pole to Pole
Apologies for the lack of postings over the last few days but as I hinted earlier in the week it has been a rather busy time at Gazette House.
Apart from the normal day-to-day business I have been involved with the launch of a Polish edition of our sister paper the Ealing Gazette.
The first edition of Polska Gazeta is due to hit the streets tomorrow in the Ealing area and will give the local Polish community dedicated local news in their own language together with some of the latest national news from their homeland.
It has certainly been interesting looking at the completed pages of the Polska Gazeta edition and I was particularly pleased with how striking the front page looks. I have to admit that I can only go on appearances as my knowledge of the Polish language is non-existent, although in time I might get to pick up the odd few words.
We have worked closely with the Polish Daily News paper, which is based in Shpeherd's Bush, on the project and they are translating the all the local news into Polish as well as supplying us with the national news from Poland.
Hopefully week one will be the start of a successful life for the new edition and it will be well received by the Polish community in Ealing.
I can now turn my attention to the Uxbridge Gazette and start looking at what we have got planned for next week's edition. Things are currently looking reasonably healthy and we have several good stories already in the bag but, it still early days and a lot can change between now and next Tuesday.
