PRIME MINISTER David Cameron praised the work of local newspapers and magazines during a special reception at 10 Downing Street.
The event was attended by local and regional editors and publishers including warrington-worldwide editor Gary Skentelbery, who was a guest of Warrington South MP David Mowat.
During the reception Mr Cameron said local newspapers and magazines were vitally important for reporting on important issues within local communities.
Commenting on the event Gary said: “Whatever your politics you can not help but be impressed by 10 Downing Street and all the famous faces pictured on the walls as you walk up the stairs. You literally walk through history.
“As well as meeting the Prime Minister it was also interesting to meet other local and regional editors and publishers and hear how they have been faring through the recession and engaging more with online news.
“As the first independent online newspaper in mainland Britain it was interesting to see how many others have now followed our lead!”
