[3] The paper covered the Brooklyn are, as well as the general Irish Hills, Cement City, Michigan, Clark Lake, Michigan and Napoleon, Michigan areas.

The whitepaper revealed that:

"Tameside holds regular meetings with local newspaper editors to gather information and stop sensationalist reporting which might otherwise start or add to rising tensions, e.g. in response to a Kick Racism out of Football campaign, an extremist political group wanted to picket a local football stadium. A local newspaper was going to print the story on its front page – an action that was likely to bring unwanted publicity to the picket and fuel rising community tensions. The intervention of the Community Cohesion Partnership prevented the story from being run and in the event no-one turned out for the picket."
