The News is the only local paid-for newspaper and website in Portsmouth, England, and covers a wide area of south Hampshire.^[3] It is produced by NationalWorld ^[4] at their office at the Technopole building. Its official title is The News, though it was formerly known as The Portsmouth Evening News and is still popularly referred to as The Evening News despite being printed in the early hours of the morning.

The News is printed Monday to Saturday. There was also a weekly sports paper, The Sports Mail, which followed the fortunes of local club Portsmouth F.C. and local sports news.^[5] Sales have declined rapidly following price rises and the rise of social media.^[5]

Whilst a lot of focus remains on the printed newspaper, The News' website portsmouth.co.uk continues to grow in line with the growing digital audience. Reporters produce stories and content which are published across a variety of platforms and social media channels including the website.
