Kent Messenger
The Kent Messenger is a weekly tabloid newspaper sold in several editions throughout central Kent. As of the first half of 2011 it was Britain’s biggest-selling regional weekly newspaper, excluding Sunday titles.
It was founded in 1859 as the Maidstone Telegraph.

The editorial offices are in Maidstone.
