The Croydon Advertiser (with locally-branded editions) is a weekly newspaper covering the London Borough of Croydon, South London, and surrounding areas. It is the third-highest selling paid-for weekly paper in London.[1] The Advertiser is Croydon's major paid-for weekly newspaper and is on sale every Friday in five geographical editions: Croydon; Sutton & Epsom; Coulsdon & Purley; New Addington; and Caterham.[2] Each edition has pages concentrating on local news and information from that specific area.
The Croydon newspaper was founded by Jesse Ward in 1869,[3] and it and the other Advertiser publications are now part of the Northcliffe Media Group, which is owned by the Daily Mail and General Trust and is the largest newspaper publisher in the United Kingdom.[4] The paper converted from a broadsheet to a compact (tabloid) format on 31 March 2006. Previous editors include David Randall, the current night editor of the Independent on Sunday, a Macolm Starbrook, now editor of the East London Advertiser and Ian Carter, now editorial director at the Kent Messenger Group. The current editor is Glenn Ebrey, who replaced Andrew Worden, who was moved to a Crawley title in 2010.
In September 2010 the Advertiser adopted a hybrid part-paid, part free strategy, with 70,000 copies delivered to homes across Sutton and Croydon.
