About the Glamorgan Star newspaper

As a result of a team effort from ex-staff of the Gem – a Star is born.

When the Gem closed its doors for good during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, the loss and gap was felt not only by the readers and advertisers but also by the staff who have served the community for years.

As a result, some of the team, who were made redundant, decided to reform and bring out a fortnightly, initially, new free newspaper for you. The newspaper is based on the same winning combination of trusted, unashamedly local journalism and the advertising sales people really know their patch and the needs of the local businesses.

The team has more than 60 years combined experience behind them based in the Vale of Glamorgan and are looking forward to serving the community once more.

If it matters to you, it matters to us. Your business is our business. 
We will be campaigning on your behalf, reporting on local issues, celebrating your good news and establishing ourselves as the paper at the heart of the community.

We don’t need clicks or page views. We just need you to feel informed and entertained and a valued member of the local community with the opportunity to engage in debate while being respectful to all who make their voice heard.
