Chad (also known as the Mansfield Chad) is a weekly regional newspaper for Mansfield and Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, England. The newspaper was first published using the name "Mansfield and North Nottinghamshire Chronicle Advertiser" on 3 April 1952; [2] its common short name was formed as a portmanteau of "Chronicle Advertiser". [3]

The last issues of the previous iterations, the Mansfield Chronicle and the Mansfield Advertiser, were published on 27 March 1952. [2]

Chad staff held their 60-year anniversary celebrations at the Old Town Hall on 4 April 2012. [4] [5]

Traditionally family owned and published by W. & J. Linney Ltd, their newspaper interests including Chad were sold to Johnston Press plc in November, 1995 for £20 million. [2]
