Wet Rocks Media has launched the West Cork Times, covering the whole West Cork region.

Launched last year as an online-only newspaper, the print edition of the fortnightly compact newspaper will deliver the latest news and opinion targeted at a West Cork audience.

It has an initial print run of 9,000, and is distributed from Bandon to Kenmare in Co. Kerry, including all the major towns and villages in between (Clonakilty, Skibbereen, Dunmanway, Bantry, Schull, Castletownbere).

West Cork Times replaces the former local print editions of the Bantry Times, Beara Times, Dunmanway Times and Skibbereen Times in one bigger, brighter, full-colour edition reaching 40,000 readers in West Cork.

West Cork Times will be added to the FeaturesExec Media Database shortly.
