About The Link magazine
Swindon Link magazine is the town’s most closely read publication. At a community level, we believe paper is still the most effective means of communication. Over 31 years we have created and sustained excellent doormat to coffee table presence; we know people give their valuable time to closely read the magazine.
The publication first appeared as a local newsletter in December 1978, starting with 500 homes in the new development to the west of the town. Our print run is now 27,000, targetted at homes in West and North Swindon and we have a small team of authors making regular contributions.
Nevertheless online is now really important to us and publishing stories from the magazine and many that don't find their way into the paper product are to be found at swindonlink.com
The magazine can be read as a digital page turning edition from the home page – pick an edition from the drop down list under the logo on the right of the screen at www.swindonlink.com
Giving away 27,000 copies free of charge means that we're delivering the right kind of advertising for businesses of all kinds.
To contact us about including a news item or a what's on event in the magazine or the web site, mail: publisher@swindonlink.com or call Roger Ogle, publisher/editor, on (01793) 608840.
