The Eastbourne Herald is also a monthly published newspaper in Eastbourne, Wellington, New Zealand.

History

The newspaper was originally named the Eastbourne Chronicle but changed its name to the Eastbourne Herald Chronicle in 1951. The name remained until 1966 when then name was shortened to the Eastbourne Herald. Nowadays, the paper is edited and created by Beckett Newspapers, based in Eastbourne, and printed by Johnston Press at their headquarters in Hilsea, Portsmouth.

Sister newspaper

The Herald also had a sister newspaper, owned by Beckett Newspapers, called the Eastbourne Gazette. The Gazette was published on Wednesdays and was cheaper than the Herald. Until the Gazette ceased publication in 2016,[2] 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.
