The Reading Chronicle is an English local weekly newspaper covering Reading in Berkshire and surrounding areas, starting off as the Berkshire Chronicle.
Editions
The paper is published each Thursday with two distinct geographical editions; the Reading Chronicle itself, and the Woodley and Earley Chronicle. Each edition has some local content relating to its target area, but much of the content is common. The paper was formerly broadsheet, but switched to a compact, tabloid format in March 2009. The previous supplements, including the weekly entertainment section The Guide and monthly Business Review are included inside the paper, as is the Property Chronicle.
Catchment
The paper covers an area extending to Goring-on-Thames to the north, Bucklebury to the west, Mortimer to the south, and Twyford and Winnersh to the east.
Staff
The Group Editor for Newsquest Berkshire & Buckinghamshire is Andrew Colley. The Commercial Director of Newsquest Berkshire is Dene Tonna-Reynolds. The MD is Julia Lancett
Publishers
Berkshire Media Group (BMG)[1] bought the Reading Chronicle from Trinity Mirror in 2007. BMG also published the Newbury and Thatcham Chronicle, the Bracknell News, the Slough & Windsor Observer and several free newspapers. The group was a subsidiary of Clyde and Forth Press, an independent newspaper company headed by Deirdre Romanes, based in Dunfermline, Scotland. The Romanes companies went into receivership after the death of Deirdre Romanes and were acquired by management and Lloyds Bank under the name Romanes Media in 2012.[2] Newsquest acquired Romanes Media in 2015.[3][4] These papers are now owned by Newsquest and come under the Newsquest Berkshire/Buckinghamshire umbrella.
Polish edition
On 12 October 2006 the Chronicle was accompanied by a 6-page Polish edition, titled Kronika Reading.
