First published in 1859, The Observer is the town's only weekly newspaper. Nowadays, the paper is edited and created by Sussex Newspapers, and printed by Johnston Press at their headquarters in Hilsea, Portsmouth. Prior to this, the paper was produced in a building purposely designed for the paper, the F.J. Parsons Printworks (Observer Building).
