Gainsborough News
The Gainsborough News (simply The News in its masthead) is a weekly freesheet tabloid newspaper distributed to homes in the Lincolnshire town of Gainsborough and in surrounding parts of West Lindsey (including the nearby town of Kirton in Lindsey) and bordering parts of Bassetlaw across the River Trent in north-eastern Nottinghamshire.
It was founded in 1855 as the Retford, Worksop, Isle of Axholme and Gainsborough News. From 1877 to 1988 it was a twice-weekly publication on Tuesdays and Fridays; the Friday edition was then redubbed the Gainsborough Standard while the Tuesday edition continued as the News. 10 years later the News became a freesheet. In 2002 the day of publication changed to Friday and the Standard shifted to Thursdays.
It’s published by South Yorkshire Newspapers (part of the Johnston Press nationwide group of regional newspapers). It shares editorial offices with the Standard and has a web presence through the Standard‘s website.
It comes out on Fridays.
