Thanet Times

The Thanet Times is a weekly tabloid newspaper sold in the Isle of Thanet in the north-east corner of Kent and the surrounding area, including the towns of Margate, Ramsgate, Broadstairs and Sandwich.

It was originally founded in 1896 and ran until 1918 before being acquired and closed by the owners of its sole remaining rival at that time, the Isle of Thanet Gazette. It was reintroduced in 1958, giving the town two weekly paid tabloid newspapers.

It’s published by Kent Regional Newspapers, which is 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.

There’s a companion weekly freesheet, the Thanet Adscene.

It comes out on Tuesdays.
