How much does it cost to produce and distribute "Three Rivers Times" newspaper?

The request was successful.

Dear Three Rivers District Council,

Under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act, I wish to receive the following information from your authority:

1. How much did it cost to produce and distribute "Three Rivers Times" newspaper in the last full financial year, and how much was budgeted from council resources in the financial year 2015/2016

3. How much of that cost is offset by advertising?

4. How much of that advertising, if any, comes from external sources (ie not from your authority budget)?

5. Which other public sector partners pay to run advertising in your newspaper, eg PCTs?

6. Whether recruitment advertising forms part of the advertising in your newspaper?

7. The number of people employed to put your newspaper/newsletter together, including total cost and staff organisation chart

Some parts of this request may be easier to answer than others, and should this prove to be the case I would ask that you release available data as soon as possible rather than hold up the entire request.

I would prefer to receive this information electronically. If the decision is made to withhold some of this data using exemptions in Act, please inform me of that fact and cite the exemptions used.

If you need any clarification then please contact me at the email. Under your section 16 duty to provide advice and assistance I would expect you to contact me if you find this request unmanageable in any way.

I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request, and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours faithfully,

Alan Wright

TRDC - FOI, Three Rivers District Council
