===Newspapers===
The town's media consists of two rival newspaper groups, and two radio stations. The independently owned ''Champion'' newspaper is a free weekly paper (part of [[Trinity Mirror]]'s ''Sefton & West Lancs Media Mix'' titles), while ''The Mid-week Visiter''<!-- NB: CORRECT spelling --> and ''The [[Southport Visiter]]''<!-- NB: CORRECT spelling --> (part of [[Reach plc]]'s ''Sefton & West Lancs Media Mix'' titles) are free and paid-for newspapers respectively. The town also falls within the circulation areas of three regional hard copy newspapers; ''The [[Liverpool Echo]]'', ''The [[Liverpool Daily Post]]'' and ''The [[Lancashire Evening Post]]''. Southport is also covered by several local and regional magazines, like ''[[Lancashire Life]]''. The local [[Park ranger|Ranger]] Service, which is part of Sefton MBC, runs a quarterly free magazine called ''Coastlines''.
