By Layth Yousif

18th Nov 2020 | Local News

Hitchin Nub News wants to put our wonderful area straight into your pocket.

We do this by providing quality local news, updates on business, what's on, property and much more.

What makes us different from other news sites?

Well, we're an online newspaper like no other.

For starters, we don't rely on Google ads or pop-up surveys, so you can trust there will never be any clickbait or disrupted reading.

Hitchin Nub News and the 50+ Nub News sites around the country are bringing local news back to local.

You'll only find information and original content about issues that are relevant to the area - we promise you that.

We also understand that sometimes sad news must be reported on, but Nub News revels in feel-good stories.

Who doesn't want to read about the positive things in our area?

Get involved, get writing, get promoting!

This online newspaper is different as we want to constantly hear from you.

Using our Nub It button you can post your own community news or upload an event you want to promote.

All content is professionally reviewed by a journalist before being published to a rapidly growing audience in Hitchin and north Herts.

We provide community news, entertainment, local business listings, classifieds, jobs, property and obituaries - all the staples of a good local newspaper.
