Kent on Saturday (known as the Kentish Saturday Observer until April 2009) is a regional newspaper covering the county of Kent and parts of Southeast London.[citation needed] It is published every Saturday and is part of the KOS Media publishing company.

KOS Media's other titles included the Kent on Sunday newspaper and the KentNews.co.uk website,[1][2] both of which closed in November 2017.[3]

History and background

[edit]

The Saturday Observer was launched in March 2005 and is distributed across all of Kent. The paper was relaunched under its current name in 2009. It is now a paid-for title in the newsagents, whilst free copies are now distributed via home delivery rounds, and business drops. Kent on Saturday also has an e-edition available free online or by subscription.[4][citation needed]

Its editor is Gary Wright,[citation needed] who has previously worked on national tabloid The People, regional press agency Kent News & Pictures, local TV news show Meridian Tonight and the KM Group title the Kentish Express.

Content

[edit]

Kent on Saturday covers television shows, local celebrities, shopping and leisure, in addition to news and sport. The newspaper's focus - as with former sister title Kent on Sunday - remains on editorial content. Also included as a supplement is "Review", a pull-out title which includes restaurant reviews, TV and film reviews, and a property section.
