Tenby Observer
The Tenby Observer is a weekly tabloid newspaper sold in and around the town of Tenby in south-eastern Pembrokeshire, including Pembroke and the South Pembrokeshire peninsula.
The Observer celebrated 150 years of publication in 2006 and prides itself on never having missed an issue, even during wartime paper shortages. Its masthead strapline, “Pioneer of Press Freedom”, commemorates its editor’s successful campaign in favour of the Admission of the Press to Meetings Bill, enacted in 1908.
It came close to closing in 1978, however: after relaunching as the West Wales Observer and expanding its news coverage in an attempt to expand circulation, it went into liquidation. Sir Ray Tindle bought it from the official receiver, restored the original name and ordered the staff to cover stories from Tenby only. Sales more than doubled over the following three decades.
It has two sub-editions: the Narberth and Whitland Observer, founded in 1906; and the much newer Pembroke & Pembroke Dock Observer, launched in July 2011. There’s also an associated free monthly paper, the Tenby Times.
It comes out on Fridays. An e-edition is available by paid subscription.
