Now is 'right time' for Port Talbot paper
"In 2009 we lost our local newspapers making it difficult to know what's happening around the community. Port Talbot Magnet was started online to partly fill that gap and provide local news and information while giving people in the community their chance to help shape the news.
"We've always thought, why should a town with so much to offer be without its own local paper? We felt now was the right time to bring a printed newspaper back to Port Talbot and we are looking for local people to be at the heart of it.
– Rachel Howells, Port Talbot MagNet director"We plan to produce a free monthly newspaper for the town. The first edition will be a pilot edition with a limited print run, and will be out at the end of April.

Welsh Secretary: furnace 'a sign of Tata's commitment to Wales'
The lighting of blast furnace four not only marks the completion of a sophisticated £185 million engineering effort, but also signals Tata's commitment to the future of steel-making in Wales.
– David Jones MP, Secretary of State for WalesThere is no denying the challenges that steel companies like Tata are facing in difficult global markets.
During my recent meeting with the company's senior executives and union representatives in Port Talbot, we were able to discuss how Government and the organisation can work together to ensure Tata' s UK operations can remain competitive.
The restarting of the furnace will go some way towards that aim, and I look forward to making a return visit to Port Talbot to see it in full operational mode in the near future.
