Newspapers
The Jersey Evening Post has been publishing in Jersey since 1890. The paper is printed Monday to Saturday and can be bought from newsagents and many other retail outlets across the Island. The earliest copies can be picked up from the newspaper office at Five Oaks, St Saviour and the news stand outside BHS in King Street, St Helier. National newspapers are flown in every morning and are readily available in shops, except when the airport is shrouded in fog.

Online
There are a range of websites that provide local information. This is Jersey carries daily news from the Jersey Evening Post, up to the minute Weather and Travel information and Classified Advertising. Most of the key business and civic organisations in the Island have their own websites and there are many smaller community sites to explore.
