Regional Media Group is a local publication company that provides free monthly newspapers to Hailsham and Bexhill.

Hailsham News is a low-cost free monthly newspaper available to the residents of Hailsham, Hellingly and the surrounding areas in East Sussex, UK.

Bexhill News is available to the resident of Bexhill, Sidley, Cooden and Little Common and the surrounding areas in East Sussex, UK.

Both editions are written, produced, printed and published in a resourceful way to engage the local community with news and events. It is a great marketing tool too for many local businesses.

Cost considerations were vital, and so was reintroducing a newspaper format, simply because the majority of residents aren’t involved with social media. However, to satisfy those who missed their copy, a digital version is published too which its pages can also be shared across social media. 

After a few short months after its initial launch, the volume has increased to 10,000 copies being distributed monthly. The resounding success the newspapers have received means expansion plans are now in place to publish another monthly newspaper for a nearby town.
