Scottish weekly celebrates hospital victory

The Airdrie & Coatbridge Advertiser is celebrating the fact that the accident and emergency unit at Monklands Hospital in Lanarkshire has been saved from closure. The newspaper managed to gather 60,000 petition signatures during its 18-month campaign, no mean feat for a paper selling 17,422 copies a week. Editor John Murdoch said: "This is tremendous news... a great victory for all of our readers who supported us in our campaign." (Via )
