The Bridge is a community magazine for Bridport supported by churches in the town. It includes news, features and interviews of general interest plus contributions from the six Anglican Parish of Bridport churches, the Roman Catholic Parish, Bridport United Church, Beacon Church, Bridport Christian Fellowship and the Quaker Meeting.
Our wonderful volunteers deliver to most homes in Bridport. There may be a few gaps, however, so please let us know if you’d like a printed copy and haven’t received one by the middle of the month.
All issues since May 2020 are available to download here.
Information for anyone wanting to advertise in The Bridge is available here.
April 2025: We are currently looking for an assistant editor
The Bridge team needs a new member to help the editor with some aspects of production. Responsibilities will depend on the abilities and interests of the successful candidate, but will include some of the following: writing news and/or features; proofreading contributors’ copy; laying out pages using our desktop publishing software; and some admin tasks to do with advertising and distribution.
Ideally you will have some experience in a similar field – writing, editing or design – but a lack of this is not necessarily a deal-breaker. The most important qualifications are: an interest in words and putting them together effectively; an eye for detail; a willingness to learn about the relevant technology; and responsiveness in communication (usually by email). If the idea of reading our style guide fills you with joy, you’re our ideal candidate!
This position is likely to involve some paid hours and some voluntary hours. Please contact the editor if you are interested.
