Belfast News: East Belfast Herald Closes

Just under a year ago, East Belfast got its very own weekly newspaper called the East Belfast Herald. The paper which was launched on Friday the 16th January 2009 was set to provide East Belfast, Castlereagh & the Dundonald areas of the City with its very own, local voice, in print. 

The dreams and aspirations of the Newspaper will not now be realised with the Newspaper printing its final edition in October 2009.

Editorial

It is hoped that we will bring you some comments from the paper's owner Fiona Rutherford in a future article. Many of this site's users and indeed the readership of the East Belfast Herald are disappointed with the news of the paper's closure and despite these difficult trading conditions, were shocked by its suddenness.

We at this site are aware of the hard work & dedication put into this paper by its editor and all its staff and we take this opportunity on behalf of our users to thank them for their efforts and wish them all the very best for the future.
