Bohemia Village Voice

Long term Bohemia resident, Vic Chalcraft, 80, of Aldborough Road, asks “What’s the Bohemia Village Voice for? What’s it achieve? Who gets to read it? Only people on the internet.” In answer, publisher and editor John Humphries replies:
  “The Bohemia Village Voice is a local newsletter, containing local news about the people, businesses , organisations and events of Bohemia. It is not trying to compete with the Hastings Observer, but is attempting to be a useful and interesting aspect of life in this part of town. I am very keen to see the people behind the stories to have their say and to appear as real people, not just names. These are early days, and the format of the newsletter hasn’t yet had time to settle down. It is still evolving.”
  “What has it achieved?” Vic asks. “I’d like to think that the stories covered so far, do have an interest for people living in Bohemia. It’s nice to know what’s going on in one’s locality, and I think the Voice carries stories which wouldn’t be covered by the Observer for instance.”
  And who gets to read it? “Well, it has to be said that not many people at present. The current circulation is less than 100, including the printed version. I am looking at ways of increasing the readership, and the obvious way is to print off copies and deliver them directly to people’s homes.
At present, I am trying to find people who would be prepared to deliver copies in their street or area. Once we have a respectable circulation, it should be easier to obtain advertising. And with advertising revenue, the whole project becomes a more realistic venture.”
