===Local media===
East Lothian is served by a local paid-for weekly newspapers, the ''East Lothian Courier''.

The ''East Lothian Courier'' (known locally as "The Courier") began as the Haddingtonshire Courier in 1859, before changing its name in 1971.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Martine |first1=John |title=Reminiscences of the royal burgh of Haddington and old East Lothian agriculturists |date=1883 |publisher=J.

It is now owned by [[Newsquest]].

The ''East Lothian News'' was first published in 1971, as part of Scottish County Press Group, with editorial offices in [[Dalkeith]] and printing at [[Bonnyrigg]] (both in Midlothian). The Scottish County Press Group was acquired by Regional Independent Media in 2000, which was in turn bought by [[Johnston Press]] in 2002. The ''East Lothian News'' closed in 2015.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://pressgazette.co.uk/publishers/regional-newspapers/johnston-press-confirms-plans-close-two-scottish-newspapers/ | title=Johnston Press confirms plans to close two Scottish newspapers | date=22 October 2015 }}</ref>
