About Us
We’re an independent local newspaper produced in the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage city of Bath. Our stories cover the area of Bath and North East Somerset, from Bath to Keynsham to Peasedown St John. Every fortnight, thousands of copies of our newspaper are distributed across the district. Our paper, website and social media channels reach tens of thousands of residents every month, creating the perfect opportunity to target your next customer.
Available from pick-up stands at locations across the area, as well as numerous cafés, waiting rooms and venues, and via postal subscription, our print newspaper offers the chance to get your advertisement directly into the hands of those you want to speak to.

The Environment
We’re well aware of the impact we have on the environment. As part of our efforts to reduce this, we’ve partnered with Ecologi, the platform for climate action, and have committed to plant 25 trees for every issue that we print. You can see how we’re doing via our Ecologi profile here.
