Hi WA community, request for help!
I am toying with the idea of setting up an online newspaper for the local community where I live.........
Anyone
Hi Dave,
Usually the local community will be the best to provide information of what they want to see in the Newspaper. A good place to meet these people is the "Meetup Group". These are very nice groups to attend if you plan to set up such a thing.
Find out if there is a group meeting in Oxford already we have a lot of such groups in London. Here is the website
http://www.meetup.com
Hope that helps Dave
Best luck

You are welcome Dave. By the way you can set up your group and invite people to join you. Registration is done online for a small fees. You can choose a place for the group to meet. You can even do admission fees that can go towards the cost of the venue.
It would be interesting to know your experience. I like these groups because you learn a lot from them
Good luck

Also forgot to mention, that this theme is responsive, so it basically means that it adapts to all devices (cell phones, ipads, tablets etc)
If you set up a local news site you could generate income from 2 streams selling local advertising space and AdSence, so yes this would be a great idea.
Thanks for the comment Colin, local advertising was my thought as well as local news, I'm just not sure how to go about setting it all up and how much work would be involved.
Hi Dave - I would use a News theme like this one https://wordpress.org/themes/magazine-basic, it's been around for a while so there is lots of support(https://wordpress.org/support/theme/magazine-basic)
To gain access to the wordpress.org support you would need to register with them. In terms of set up you need to upload the theme through your wordpress Dashboard and from there play around until you figure it out - Shout if you get stuck - Colin
