The local newspaper for Kensington, scene of the Grenfell tower disaster, is one of five London local newspapers facing possible closure after going into administration.

Last month Press Gazette used the Kensington and Chelsea News to highlight the collapse of local newspaper publishing in London. In 1990 the title had ten journalists covering the borough, today it has no dedicated reporter – instead sharing resources with other titles in the group.

A former local journalist on the title told Press Gazette he was certain it would have picked up on residents’ fire safety concerns in the pre-internet era when it had more staff.
