A few weeks ago, Local News Port Talbot began uploading content to a news website for Port Talbot. It's at www.lnpt.org - please check it out and let us know what you think.
Over the coming months, we aim to establish ourselves as a news hub for Port Talbot, pointing readers to the best places to find Port Talbot news. We will also be providing exclusive content, and we aim to build on the amount of original content as the site grows.
We've had a great boost to our endeavour tonight; we featured in an ITV Wales documentary about the local news crisis in Port Talbot.
The programme makers wanted to know how a local community is affected by the closure of its local newspaper. They concluded that there is a serious threat to the voice of the people, their identity and even their mark in history.
You can read more about the issues here and the TV programme here.
Let us know what you think.
