The Southern Reporter is a weekly tabloid format sold in the Scottish Borders. It publishes Thursdays and is owned by National World.

History

The paper was established in 1855.[2]

The Tweeddale Press Group owned the title and became a subsidiary of the Johnston Press in 2000,[3] having been purchased for £7.8 million.[4] It was named the best weekly newspaper in Scotland in 2002 and 2003.[5] In 2004 the paper published a caption which caused offence locally, causing the editor to resign.[6][7][8] Susan Windram succeeded Willie Mack as editor in 2007.[9] Windram was succeeded by Phil Johnson, who was appointed in June 2015.[10] Darin Hutson was appointed editor in 2016.

In 2012 Johnston Press announced that the office would be closing and relocating to other premises in Selkirk.[11] The move was completed in April 2014.[12]

In 2013 the newspaper switched to tabloid format after more than 150 years as a broadsheet.[13] After a progressive decline in circulation, the average circulation of paid copies was around 12,500 for each issue.[14]
