Well done!

What about once a week doing a piece about Dundalk in days gone by, i think you need more sport as well! Soccer, Gaelic, Ice Hockey, Hurling, tennis, greyhounds, horse. Sport in Dundalk is not limited to Dundalk FC.

Under age drinking i though was very short being honest it could have been longer name and shame the hang out of the kids so the wider audience are aware of where they are.

Since we are in the middle of the summer how about a piece for the parents on keeping the children occupied.

One thing please NEVER put in a Dear Deirdre piece. I think that bit ruins the Dundalk Life!

I enjoyed the read and have bookmarked it for future reading. Is it going to be weekly, fortnightly or monthly?

Congratulations on creating your first issue

I've a couple of suggestions though;

1) Firstly I'd advertise this more as an 'E-Magazine' as opposed to a newpaper as it doesn't really have the look of a newspaper. Doing this would also give you freedome to be more creative with story ideas like the person above suggested.

2) I'd be careful in terms of legality. I don't know the law inside out here but is it OK for you to give full home addresses in Court stories? I'd look in to this as I've been informed that its definately not allowed in UK journalism.

3) Proof read your work before publishing it. Poor grammar and spelling can let down otherwise good stories. Perhaps get a friend to read through it also for things you may have missed yourself.


I hope you don't see these points as negative they are merely meant in a constructive manner. All in all I did enjoy reading it and will definately keep an eye (no pun intended) out for future issues.

Best of luck

Well done and best of luck

Our Net-Security software won't let the site through, so I can't see it. My brother and a friend both tried as well and their security software also bars the site. Is it because of the "blog" reference in the Site Address or is there some content that might trigger Internet security software to block it?

People love to see themselves and friends on the 'Out & About' photos section. Don't have to call it that but, plenty of photos would be a big help to pull in viewers.
