How we make a difference: We offer a truly local news service which is valuable in helping to hold our community together. During the pandemic, we were able to highlight where goods and services were needed and the help available at a very local level for the people who needed it. We have informed people of their local vaccination and booster clinics. We campaign and hold local government to account and encourage debate on the issues that matter to the people of Teignbridge.

Our history: The newspaper that was to become the Mid-Devon Advertiser was born in Newton Abbot in 1863. From black and white broad sheet to full colour tabloid we have brought you all the local news every week since then. Moving with the times the Mid-Devon Advertiser and its sister titles the Dawlish Gazette and the Teignmouth Post have a new-look website to provide you with your local news seven days a week.
