KOS Media was a multimedia company based in the county of Kent in South East England. The company operated local newspapers and internet sites throughout the county.
KOS Media's first newspaper, the Kent on Sunday was launched as a free newspaper in 2002 and closed in November 2017.[1] The company was based in Smeeth, near Ashford.[2]
Until May 2009, all KOS Media newspapers were free. In June both Kent on Saturday and Kent on Sunday became paid for in the newsagents, to increase availability, whilst the free copies were diverted to business rounds and home delivery. The mid-week local papers remained free. All titles have a fast-growing online audience as they are available free as a page-turning e-edition, or by subscription online.[citation needed]
KOS Media was purchased by Archant in June 2010,[3] having had had a minority interest in KOS Media since 2005.
In the summer of 2007 KOS Media introduced free, local papers for different parts of Kent, with three more added in 2009. These were published on Wednesdays and ceased publication in January 2011.
KOS Media publishes magazines accompanying its paid for papers, such as the "Kent Weekend" entertainment and leisure guide. It also publishes Isle Magazine (published quarterly for the Isle of Thanet); and BBC Radio Kent County Life for the BBC.[citation needed] This caused a complaint against KOS Media and the BBC by rival group the KM Group.[4]
KOS Media operates the YourKentTV internet television channel.[5] The channel features local news and sport, and videos both sent in by viewers and provided by the company.

Kent on Saturday (known as the Kentish Saturday Observer until April 2009) is a regional newspaper covering the county of Kent and parts of Southeast London. It is published every Saturday and is part of the KOS Media publishing company. KOS Media's other titles included the Kent on Sunday newspaper and the KentNews.co.uk website, both of which closed in November 2017.
Kent on Sunday was a regional newspaper covering the county of Kent in the United Kingdom. Starting in 2002, it was published on every Sunday of the year and was available from supermarkets, garages and newsagents. The newspaper was the flagship paper of the KOS Media publishing company. In November 2017, it was announced that it would cease publication at the end of the month. The main focus of the paper was to provide the county with regional, informative news and a sport service. The paper also covered retail, leisure and lifestyle features, plus jobs, cars and property sections. Initially, it also had other local editions, under the "Your Local" series, which were digital news and sport based titles with the traditional content such as jobs, leisure, cars, and property as well as a comprehensive leisure and lifestyle section. In June 2009 the Kent on Sunday began to charge 90p per issue in the newsagents, whilst the free copies were directed to business rounds and home delivery. Kent on Sunday also has an e-edition, which is available free online or by subscription. The UKPG website quoted KOS Media's Managing Director Paul Stannard as saying, "As with any media company, if in the next four to five years we see the market decline at the same rate it has in the past six months, then everybody will be looking at their business model". In June 2010, it was announced that KOS Media would be taken over by the Archant Media Group. Archant were rumoured to have previously funded the KOS Media Group and decided to take up the chance to own the company. In January 2011, as part of a restructuring, KOS Media stopped printing the "Your" titles and instead only published them as an online E-edition. In January 2011 Kent on Sunday was re-branded with a new mast-head. KOS Media were one of the first local media organisations to have their own iPhone Application, allowing readers to look through the papers via their iPhone or iPad.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
