The story of Wolverhampton’s newspapers isn’t just about ink and paper. It’s about identity. For over 130 years, they told residents “Hey, you matter.”
In a world where giant algorithms tell us what to think, local papers are the antidote. They remind us that the small stuff is actually the big stuff.
So next time you see a stack of old newspapers at a flea market, pick one up. It might be the Express & Star, dated 1975. Crack it open, and listen to Wolverhampton whisper. It’s a pretty cool secret, don’t you think?
