Start a Respected Local News Brand in Your Town

Launch your own local newspaper with expert support in publishing, advertising, design, and print.

Regional Media Group has successfully launched and grown multiple hyperlocal newspapers across East Sussex. We are now offering ambitious individuals the opportunity to create their own town-based publication using our proven experience, infrastructure, and ongoing support.

Whether you come from journalism, sales, publishing—or simply know your town well—this is your chance to run a genuine community publication backed by an established network.

Website Setup

Exclusive Territory

Why This Opportunity Matters

Local news still plays a vital role in communities. People want trusted, relevant local coverage, and businesses need cost-effective advertising solutions.
