Carrickfergus Advertiser
The Carrickfergus Advertiser is a weekly tabloid newspaper sold in the town of Carrickfergus on the East Antrim coast.
It was founded in 1883 and describes itself as the traditional weekly newspaper of Carrickfergus Borough; as of 2008 it was the only newspaper with a full-time office in the centre of the borough. It’s currently owned by the Alpha Newspapers Group.
Since 1994 it’s been part of a series of three weekly tabloids covering eastern Co. Antrim, together with the newly-established Larne Gazette and Ballyclare Gazette.
On 10 February 2010 it was announced that the Advertiser would be merging with the Larne Gazette with effect from the week beginning 15 February 2010. The merger was to take account of the planned local government reorganisation. There were no plans to close the Carrickfergus editorial office, however, and both newspapers still maintained their distinctive identities, websites and offices. Nevertheless, the Larne Gazette did eventually close in September 2011.
The Advertiser comes out on Wednesdays. An e-edition’s also available by paid subscription.
