Paul Dickson is the publisher and designer of Mill Magazine, a free, lifestyle magazine promoting the people and businesses of Renfrewshire.

Despite the many challenges facing it, Mill magazine is positively thriving and is going from strength to strength at a time when the publishing industry in the UK is struggling.

Through clever use of local collaboration and engagement, social media and the printed copies of the magazine, Paul has grown the magazine over the last 10 editions into a real community champion for the area. 

This podcast is a real positive, good news story, on the effects well put together printed materials can have on a local community and beyond.
