Swansea paper boasts of its sales success

The South Wales Evening Post is boasting to the people of Swansea about being the largest selling paper in Wales. To that end, it has had students dressed in trench coats and hats walking around the city centre while carrying newspapers with the paper's latest circulation figure of 55,616. It also arranged for giant images to be projected on buildings which showed "old style journalists" leafing through the copies of the Evening Post. Editor Spencer Feeney said: "The Evening Post's success is a story worth shouting about... it shows that all the talk about local papers facing terminal decline is, at the very least, premature."
