Welcome to THE MOORLANDER, a fortnightly publication which is the local newspaper for Dartmoor and surrounding area!
THE MOORLANDER is highly regarded for its engaging mix of local news, features and outstanding photography, reflecting the unique area in and around Dartmoor.
It continues to build upon its hard-won reputation for highlighting local issues and campaigns that frequently catch the attention of the national media.
Since its launch in 2016 it has reported on and campaigned against NHS closures and the wastage of NHS equipment, which we brought to the attention of the national press and media. It has since instigated national policy change after the Mail on Sunday took up our campaign.
Since the beginning of 2018 THE MOORLANDER’s distribution has extended into areas of Exeter and Plymouth, the South Hams, and communities north of Okehampton including Hatherleigh and Crediton. It is now available in Cornwall border towns such as Launceston, too.

In April 2019, THE MOORLANDER was nominated and shortlisted for “The Society of Editors’ Regional Press Awards”, for its Drugs Awareness Campaign. Following the tragic death of two local teenage girls in two weeks, the paper worked on a report into “County Lines” - where drug gangs in the metropolitan areas such as London, Manchester and Liverpool find new clients in rural areas, especially the South West.
