Oldham Evening Chronicle
In February 2018, the main Evening Chronicle title relaunched online after it was bought by a local radio station.Oldham was enjoying rapid economic expansion thanks to the Industrial Revolution, but local communities had to rely on Manchester papers for news about the town and surrounding districts.[citation needed] According to Paul Bagguley and Yasmin Hussain, the newspaper's editorial stance had been "widely seen as anti-Asian" around the time of riots in 2001.[2][3][4] In October 2017 it was announced that local radio station Revolution 96.2 had bought the title and assets of the newspaper with the intention of relaunching it.According to a spokesman, doing so would be a complex matter, in part because the paper had stored so much of its information in the cloud and retrieving it might be difficult.
