Without a buoyant property sector to advertise, it seems they struggle in recessionary times. Over the last few years we've seen quite a few come and go :

The French News
Le66
Le11 (twice)
Le34
Med Living
Accents SW
The French Paper
French Week
Blablablah

After a slow start, only The Connexion, Languedoc Sun and PO-Life seem to survive.

There are probably more in other areas ?

But who's doing this? WoW? Underemployed professionals are curious...

Kevin Brennan worked on the BBB website in the early days, and I remember more recently he was the contact name for PECC (Pezenas English Cinema Club).

Otherwise not sure. Google is a minefields because of an Australian actor and a UK MP of the same name.

I understand the ending of Blablablah wasn't particularly for financial reasons - as it says in the mag the founders have decided on a change in lifestyle. The planning of this has been about two weeks so there are long term advertisers that The Herault Times will hope to contact and pick up.

writerman - I would describe WoW as a time consuming retirement hobby that generates a few perks. Not unlike running TLP I would imagine.
