Alfreton News is FREE

Alfreton News is a FREE resource for people in and around Alfreton to report their own news and good news stories to the public.

Getting publicity in Alfreton

Quite often, we all wish to gain publicity for the things we do or for the groups we represent and the activities that they are involved with.

Many community, charity and commercial organisations in Alfreton turn to local printed publications to get information over to the community, but more often than not the volume of news presented to newspapers like the Chad or the Trader is such that they have to make decisions over which content to include because they have limited space for publishing. Thats what makes Alfreton News so different - we have no limitations on space and no restrictions either.

It's all good news

Our intention is to provide a portal that the whole community can use to publish all the things they have to say, in the way that they want to say it. So it's unlikely that local people will be reporting the sensationalist, negative news stories we so often read about like "Motorcycle death on A38", "Pedophile walks free", "Naughty head teacher's sex antics" and the like. People do good things within and around Alfreton and this web portal is a celebration of the good news stories they create. It's a positive news portal with a positive message for Alfreton Townsfolk.

Getting the most from Alfreton News

We accept news from all sources and we have plenty of space for you to say what you want to say. As part of the requirement for publishing we ask that you add articles to the site which meet our publishing guidelines as outlined in our terms and conditions and to prepare your article so that it is presentable and acceptable to the wider community. We request that all articles are written in the "Third Person".

When you have logged in, you get an opportunity to create as many articles as you like, you can upload your own images into your news stories and have a fully featured News Story editing software to create hyperlinks to web sites and email addresses, create bullet points, etc - its just like using Microsoft Word or other similiar word processors. It's so easy to do!

Alfreton Web Links

In addition to your ability to create your own news stories, you can also submit to our Local Weblinks Listings a summary of your organisations aims, products and services and a link to your website in a suitable category.
