This week, the Manx Independent and the Isle of Man Examiner join forces in a special one-off joint edition.

The way the bank holidays have fallen over the Christmas break meant that it was impossible to print the papers on their normal days.

So today’s paper includes features from both the Examiner and the Independent.

For example, there is Examiner business news, the Manx Independent’s Island Life leisure and entertainment section, Terry Cringle’s Times Past pages from the Examiner and the Isle of Man’s What’s On guide, which is usually part of the Manx Independent.

In addition, there’s a big supplement all about the advantages of living in the Isle of Man. Destination Isle of Man highlights the island as a place to live and work.

As for the news itself, the lead story in the Examiner and Independent is about a nurse who’s got into trouble after the death of a patient.

The paper also includes:

A fantastic new 360-degree screen that’s a 360-degree part-planetarium, part immersive full-dome cinema and part-showcase for 3D artworks.

The sale of the Castle Mona Hotel is imminent.

There will be no prosecutions after the contamination of tap water in Douglas.

The Isle of Man Foodbank helped scores of families over Christmas. We find out more.

A ’pro-life’ group says it’s still not happy with proposals to reform the Isle of Man’s abortion law.

There will be a new braking system for the Snaefell Mountain Railway after disaster was narrowly averted in August.

Nationalists are to honour a man they describe as a Manx martyr. We have the details.

The Health Minister hits back after a union leader slated the island’s use of locum doctors.

Lots of photos from both Cammag and Hunt the Wren.

Plus lots of sports action, your letters and lots of community news.
