The "Isle of Wight County Press" is a local, compact newspaper published every Friday on the Isle of Wight.It claims a circulation of 40,000 out of a population of 110-132,000, with a readership of approximately 90% of the Island population. The paper has been owned locally since it was founded.[cite web|url=http://www.iwcp.co.uk/News/County_Press_set_to_go_tabloid.aspx|title=Isle of Wight County Press - County Press set to go tabloid|publisher=www.iwcp.co.uk|accessdate=2008-09-12] ]The Isle of Wight County Press website was launched in 1999 and features headline articles updated on a daily basis. These will often appear on the website before featuring in the next issue, allowing readers to be updated daily instead of each week. The website also features videos and photo galleries that would not normally be available in a standard issue.
The first compact issue was released on 3 October 2008. Prior to this the paper had always been published in a broadsheet format. The change was done in a response to surveys carried out by the paper in November 2007 with 87 percent of islanders in favour of a compact format.[cite web|url=http://www.iwcp.co.uk/News/County_Press_set_to_go_tabloid.aspx|title=Isle of Wight County Press - County Press set to go tabloid|publisher=www.iwcp.co.uk|accessdate=2008-09-12] Following the first release of the first compact issue, many islanders found the smaller size unsuitable for use on some jobs such as bee keeping.][cite web|url=http://www.iwcp.co.uk/News/Bit_of_a_buzz_about_tabloid_County_Press.aspx|title=Isle of Wight County Press - "Bit of a buzz about tabloid County Press|publisher=www.iwcp.co.uk|accessdate=2008-10-03] ]References
