Rochdale Observer
The Rochdale Observer is a twice-weekly tabloid newspaper published on Wednesdays and Saturdays and sold in the town and Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale in Greater Manchester (formerly South East Lancashire).
It was founded in 1856. It’s published by the Greater Manchester Weekly Newspaper Group, part of the MEN Media Group. MEN Media was taken over by Trinity Mirror in March 2010 from the Guardian Media Group.
It’s particularly proud of its record of campaigning on local issues; one of these campaigns resulted in the building of the Rochdale Infirmary.
Up until 2009 its editorial offices were in the town, but MEN Media centralised its editorial operations at the GMG headquarters building in central Manchester in May that year. Following the Trinity Mirror takeover, the editorial offices shifted to Chadderton on the outskirts of Oldham.
There’s a companion weekly freesheet, the Rochdale Express.
