Background

[edit]

The newspaper is published byNational World, and is known locally asThe Gazette. The editor is Vanessa Sims.[3] Two other weekly newspapers are also published – theLytham St.Annes Express and theFleetwood Weekly News. It is online at blackpoolgazette.co.uk.

The Gazette had a close link with local football clubBlackpool until the club's relegation from the Premier League in 2011. In 2014, the newspaper decided to scrap club chairmanKarl Oyston's weekly column "given such disgusting and offensive comments" he made to a Blackpool fan.[4] Oyston's response was to stop recognizingThe Gazette as local media, instead only allowing them to attend national news conferences. The Oystons left the club in 2019.[citation needed]
