The Argus (Brighton)

The Argus (Brighton)

"The Argus" is a local newspaper based in Brighton & Hove in East Sussex, with editions serving the city of Brighton and Hove and the other parts of both East and West Sussex.

History

Founded in 1880, and for many years known as the 'Evening Argus', it is owned by Newsquest (since 1999, part of the US Gannett media group) which had in 1996 bought the Argus and its sister "Westminster Press" titles from the provincial papers group's parent, the Pearson Group. [ [http://www.ketupa.net/gannett2.htm#newquest "Gannett: Milestones" – Caslon Analytics, Braddon, Australia. December 2004] .Accessed: 2007-09-12.] Like many of the UK's local and regional newspapers, the Argus has suffered from a slight decline in circulation – as audited by the ABC circulations and ratings group. It reached a peak of 100,000 in the early 1980s and is reported to be read by 48% of Brighton citizens (2004). The newspaper is still regarded as a 'go to' for Sport and The Arts within the Arts capital of South England

Newsquest has launched "Argus Lite", a weekly free edition for distribution to commuters at some Sussex railway stations to compete with free daily newspapers from London, notably "Metro". It also publishes free weeklies, including the "Brighton and Hove Leader", the "Mid Sussex Leader", the "Uckfield Leader" and the "South Coast Leader" for door-to-door delivery to homes.
