MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN SOUTHAMPTON

Operating as a classic single-daily market, the local press is anchored by a legacy regional tabloid backed by a major national publishing group. Newsquest owns the Southern Daily Echo, which has operated as the city's primary news source since its founding in 1888. Beyond this dominant commercial paper, the local media structure incorporates active student journalism driven by the University of Southampton. This includes the Wessex Scene, a student-run magazine tracing its roots to 1936, and content produced through SUSU, the students' union. Paperboy lists 3 newspapers in Southampton.
