The Devon free sheets employ 25 staff who will all keep their jobs. Tindle, owner of the Tindle Newspaper group, already owns 230 weekly titles across the UK and employs 1,000 staff.
The group has acquired the five titles from The View From group. The papers cover the towns of Axminster, Colyton, Seaton, Honiton and Crewkerne in east Devon.
Tindle already publishes the paid-for Pullmans Weekly in Axminster. It is one of the oldest papers in Devon. Last week Sir Tindle told Marketing that his papers would survive the downturn ‘without any doubt.'
