About the Picton Gazette

The Picton Gazette, first published as The Hallowell Free Press in 1830,  is Canada’s oldest weekly newspaper. It rebranded as The Picton Gazette in 1836.  It was purchased by Karen Valihora and Christopher Fanning, both of Prince Edward County, in May of 2023. The Picton Gazette is published every Thursday, focusing on the local news of Prince Edward County.

On October 26, 2017 a digital edition was launched to fulfill the community’s need for an online publication that offers readers timely access to breaking news stories and added exposure for advertisers to reach potential customers.
