Currently the district is served by four local newspapers: the Banbridge Chronicle (established 1870), the Dromore Leader, the Banbridge Leader, and the County Down Outlook (established 1940). A year-round community radio station, 102.4 Shine FM, also broadcasts from Banbridge. Since 2007, a second community radio station, called fUSe FM, based in Rathfriland has also been operating, though up to now it has run for a limited number of days each year.
