Launched in 1996, the Fakenham & District Sun newspaper formed an important part of the regeneration scheme for the town. The paper remains dedicated to helping local businesses, providing important information to readers about goods and services offered throughout the region. With 12,000 copies of the paper, most of which are delivered to homes and offices in the area, the Fakenham Sun can claim to have a larger readership than most other publications in the area in and around Fakenham.
