Paid-for weekly turns into a free

A paid-for weekly founded in Devon in 1857 has been quietly "retired" through assimilation into a series of free titles. The Pulman's Weekly News, which served Axminster and Seaton in East Devon, now forms part of the Tindle group's "View From" series. Its masthead has been incorporated into the publisher's View From Axminster title, as shown above. Though Pulman's Weekly News was not audited by ABC, it is thought to have sold about 7,500 copies a week with a cover price of 45p. Sources: HoldTheFrontPage / British Newspapers
