The ''South London Press'' (''SLP'') is a bi-weekly tabloid newspaper based in Streatham, South London, covering local news within the London Borough of Lambeth, London Borough of Southwark, London Borough of Lewisham and the London Borough of Wandsworth. First published in 1865, the newspaper is published every Tuesday and Friday, at the retail price of 50p. Many of its reporters have gone on to make careers in Fleet Street, and it is still considered a training ground for the nationals. Max Wall and then Richard Woolveridge edited the bi-weekly in its glory days when its circulation was over 130,000. The novelist Martyn Bedford used to work in the Lewisham office of the paper, while Brian Alexander, the former sports editor of ''The Sun'' and ''Mail on Sunday'', was sports editor until 1986. Paul McCarthy, sports editor of the ''News of the World'', John Pienaar, political correspondent and reporter on BBC Radio 5 Live and David Bond, who was appointed as the BBC's Sports Editor in 2010, worked at the ''SLP'' in the 1980s and 1990s. Others who went on to Fleet Street include Brian McConnell, Peter Burden, Ron Ricketts, Geoff Manners, John Rodda and Colin Wood. The ''South London Press'' won the Press Gazette Regional Press Awards 2009 Newspaper of the Year for weekly newspapers above 20,000 circulation. The current editor of the ''South London Press'' is Hannah Walker. The ''SLP'' incorporates former newspapers, ''South London News'' and ''South London Observer'', and the South London Advertiser Group. The newspaper is part of the Tindle Group, which bought it from Trinity Mirror in 2007. It has previously sponsored Millwall F.C. In March 2013 the ''South London Press'' moved from its Leigham Court Road address in Streatham Hill and split to two locations. The editorial and credit control departments are now located just round the corner at 23 Streatham High Road, in the former Oxfam shop opposite the Five Bells public house. The Advertising, Pre-press and other departments are based in Yeoman House, Penge. ==Notes and references== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「South London Press」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
