The ***Eastbourne Gazette***, commonly known as just ***The Gazette***, was a weekly tabloid newspaper, printed on Wednesdays and published from 1859 to 2016 in [Eastbourne](/source/Eastbourne), [England](/source/England).[1]

## History

The Gazette was the town's first newspaper. Later, the paper was edited and created by [Beckett Newspapers](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Beckett_Newspapers&action=edit&redlink=1), based in Eastbourne, and printed by [Johnston Press](/source/Johnston_Press) at their headquarters in [Hilsea](/source/Hilsea), [Portsmouth](/source/Portsmouth). [Aleister Crowley](/source/Aleister_Crowley) once edited a [chess](/source/Chess) column for the paper.

From September 2015 until its closure it relaunched itself briefly as a free broadsheet.

## Sister newspaper

The Gazette also had a sister newspaper, owned by Beckett Newspapers, called the *[Eastbourne Herald](/source/Eastbourne_Herald)*. The Herald is printed on a Friday and is more expensive than the Gazette. Eastbourne was one of the few remaining towns in the UK which had a midweek paid-for newspaper as well as an end-of-week title until the Gazette published its final issue in late 2016 and merged with the Herald.
