The North West Enquirer, the major new regional due to laucnh next month (as revealed exclusively by Press Gazette) has hit a bump.

Anyone hoping to access a website for the title at www.northwestenquirer.co.uk may be surprised to find the domain name has been snapped up by Insider Media

Meanwhile the newspaper’s website is www.nw-enquirer.co.uk although it’s a work in progress.

Although quite why a business publisher has interest in taking the potential website name of a new newspaper is hard to fathom, unless they’ve had it for years and the whole thing is a crazy accident.
