Bridlington Gazette and Herald ‘to publish last issue next month’

By admin

Free weekly the Bridlington Gazette and Herald is to publish its last issue next month to enable staff to concentrate on sister paid-for title, the Bridlington Free Press.

The move was announced to readers in the Johnston Press-owned Free Press with an article indicating that the Gazette and Herald would publish its last issue on 1 February, Holdthefrontpage reported today.

The move follows the closure of other Johnston Press-owned free papers in recent weeks.

Reports emerged last week that the publishing group had ‘mothballed’the Eastbourne Advertiser and Worthing Guardian.
