Tavistock Times Gazette

The Tavistock Times Gazette is a weekly publication that caters to the Tavistock community in West Devon, England. This tabloid-style newspaper is released every Thursday. The Gazette was created in 1986 through the merger of two competing newspapers. The Tavistock Times, which started in 1920, had been in rivalry with the older Tavistock Gazette, established in 1857, with both papers at times vying for dominance in the local market. Currently, the Tavistock Times Gazette has a circulation of around 8,000 copies and is part of the Tindle Newspaper Group.
