The Shropshire Star provides unrivalled news and sport coverage for Shropshire and Mid Wales, printing four editions per day, five days a week, plus one Saturday edition.
The newspaper launched on October 5, 1964, inheriting a daily circulation of around 19,000 from the old Shropshire edition of the Express & Star.
It became the first evening newspaper in Europe to be printed by web-fed offset, which refers to the use of rolls (or webs) of paper supplied to the printing press.
And the Shropshire Star continues to lead the field in newspaper technology to this day.
