Rye News is the volunteer run online local newspaper for Rye and the surrounding villages in East Sussex. Each week around 5000 people read our stories and features, with over a million page views each year.
Rye news is a much respected and valued part of life here, having been around since 2014. Around twenty or so volunteers run Rye News, doing everything from writing the stories to publishing.
Each story is checked for accuracy and grammar by at least two sub editors, before publication each Thursday afternoon. An email alert is sent to over 2000 recipients landing every Friday morning at 8am.
