1. Big contributors like WH Smith ask for £1,000 up front before they will let us circulate our paper with them. Wherever they sell, little papers can't.
2. Advertisements are hard to come by when the local populace has rooted for the other local paper who has been around for close to 160 years. Loyalty and tradition. Welcome to the small town and the UK, where such sentiments are an intense shade of double-edged.
3. There is all-around apathy. I have also established, based on my voluntary paper girl experience of the past few weeks, that the faker the lashes and the thicker the makeup and the more varied the shades of fake tan and shades of concealer and foundation, the bigger the apathy for well-written local news.
