The News

The News is a daily newspaper published from Monday to Saturday and sold in Portsmouth, its neighbouring towns and surrounding districts including West Sussex, East Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

It was founded in 1877 as The Evening News and is often still referred to colloquially by that name, although its official title has been simply The News since 1959. As of October 2009 it claimed to be the South’s top-selling daily paper.

It’s a tabloid. It’s published by Portsmouth Publishing & Printing Ltd, whose parent company is Johnston Press.

Until 2012 it appeared in three geographical editions:

  • Portsmouth (City Final)
  • Fareham & Gosport
  • Havant & Waterlooville.

However, an October 2012 relaunch saw the Fareham & Gosport edition split into two separate hyperlocal editions. An iPad app was launched at the same time. On the other hand, its 109-year-old Saturday afternoon sports special, the Sports Mail, was discontinued in advance of the relaunch; and its companion Journal series of weekly freesheet tabloids was mothballed at the end of the month.
