Petersfield Newswire: Newswire launches Petersfield webcam service

The Newswire Team

Welcome to the Petersfield Newswire, the place to visit if you don't really want to find out what's happening, and prefer our take on the news instead . . .

There are (now) four masked men behind this irreverent look at the news in Petersfield.

They are, in descending order of bank balance and educational qualification:

Clint - Creative genius and sharp dresser

DJ - world-class barrack-room lawyer and renowned grump

Frank - snapper, ale critic and coffee-shop reviewer

Cyrano - ace foreign correspondent and romantic poet

And even on Facebook...

Very few of the people featured in these news items exist. And very few news stories have any basis in fact. But stranger things have happened . . .

THEY SAY

"Hilarious, genius and just the kick up the arse local papers need!"
TRINA, Lymington, Hants

"Excellent work - always worth a visit. In danger of becoming my alternative reality."
DAVID P, Petersfield

"Brilliant website - had us laughing right up until deadline..."
SUE C, Petersfield Herald

"New York - the city that never sleeps; Petersfield - the town that has an occasional nap..."
HUGH BONNEVILLE, top actor-type fella

"...surely the crowning cultural achievement of the internet era: the ridiculously specific Single-Topic Blog!"
OLIVER BURKEMAN, The Guardian

"@newspetersfield: I think this story is trying to be funny..."

"Great spoof..."
