The North Norfolk News was established in 1940. [3] Its staff members work remotely around north Norfolk, as well as at the Archant head office in Norwich, following the closure of the firm's Cromer office in 2019. [4] It was shortlisted for best paid-for UK weekly newspaper for 2013. [5]
Its content includes a mix of news, features, a guide to upcoming events and sport. Many of the stories it runs are also published in its sister daily newspaper, the Eastern Daily Press.
Some elements have disappeared or been replaced by others over the years. In the 1960s the paper ran a ‘Thass a Larf’ column, [6] which no longer exists.
From 2017 to 2020 the paper ran a weekly Enjoy Cromer More page focusing on positive news from that town. [7]
Although the feature has not run in the print edition since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, Enjoy Cromer More continues to exist as a separate website and on social media channels. [8]
Other areas of coverage have stayed more or less the same for decades. Upcoming things to do, investment in car parks and refurbishments of town pubs were all covered as topics of local interest 40 years ago, [9] just as they are today. [10] [11] [12]
