Cockermouth Curiosity

No one involved with it makes a penny from being involved. We are working hard to produce it because we feel this great town deserves a forum that its completely dedicated to the lives and interests of its people. We are very interested in the quality of the writing that we publish - we want the paper to be a gripping, professional read. People say to us that The Cockermouth Curiosity is a challen

ging paper. We question things and we believe in providing a mixture of material ranging from funny short news stories to deep, long reads about subjects that are connected to the town and its geographical area. This does not mean we are limited to the boundaries of the town or even Allerdale Borough. But when we choose our subjects we will always be thinking "will our readers be interested in this? Does it affect their lives? Does it enhance their sense of belonging and make their lives more enjoyable in some way?"

There are some great things about this newspaper. It is:

· Non-political. We are absolutely neutral on party politics although we like to laugh at our political masters when they get above themselves.

· Hyper-local: We are devoted to this lovely town and its environs.

· Community focused: We support ordinary Cockermouth people.

· Not for profit: Every penny of profit goes back into the paper.

· Independent: We do not answer to anybody.
