Meet the NWN's new villages reporter

MEET the Newbury Weekly News’ new villages correspondent, Mirek Gosney.

Mirek joined the paper a week ago as its dedicated reporter for the rural communities and villages of West Berkshire.

He grew up in Thatcham and went to Kennet School.

Mirek is employed as part of the Community News Project (CNP) involving the UK’s local media, Facebook and the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ).

The NWN uses its Facebook-funded CNP positions to report the news and champion the causes of our rural communities.

We are determined to ensure that the villages in our district have their voices heard and their news communicated to as wide an audience as possible.

So, tell Mirek about the news, events and issues in your village by calling (01635) 886639, email mirek.gosney@newburynews.co.uk or via Twitter at @mgosney_nwn
