Isle of Thanet Gazette

The Isle of Thanet Gazette is a weekly tabloid newspaper sold in Margate, Ramsgate, Broadstairs and more generally throughout the Isle of Thanet in north-eastern Kent.

It was founded in 1870 by Thomas Harman Keble and was originally known as Keble’s Gazette. When it was taken over by William John Parrett Ltd of Sittingbourne in 1909, it became the Margate, Ramsgate and Isle of Thanet Gazette and East Kent Advertiser, and took on its present title in 1924. It’s published by Kent Regional Newspapers, a branch of the Daily Mail & General Trust’s regional newspaper publishing division, Northcliffe Media. The editorial offices are in Margate, although they moved in January 2009 from Union Row, where the Gazette had been based since 1899.

In 1918 it absorbed a local rival, the Thanet Times, which was resurrected in 1958. There’s also a companion weekly freesheet, the Thanet Adscene. All share the same editorial offices and a web presence on KRN Media’s thisiskent.co.uk website.

It comes out on Fridays.
