Today we’re trying something a little different at Midlothian View.
Every new article we publish will be available exclusively to our subscribers as part of Paywall Wednesday.
Why are we doing this?
Midlothian View is an independent local news publisher. We don’t have the backing of a large media group, and producing quality local journalism costs money. Reader subscriptions help us cover council meetings, report on local issues, celebrate community successes and hold decision-makers to account.
Our subscription costs just £5 per month – less than the price of a coffee and cake – and helps ensure that trusted local journalism continues to thrive in Midlothian.
We’ve been delighted that so many readers have already chosen to support us, but we’re hoping Paywall Wednesday will encourage even more people to join them.
If you value what we do, please consider becoming a subscriber today. CLICK HERE
Thank you for reading, supporting and sharing Midlothian View.
