The "sixth sense" forces newspaper?
There was a British forces newspaper I used to read when I was about 9 years old and stationed in Germany from 1979 to 1981. I won a competition prize of a signed album by The Police- Ghost in the Machine - would love to find a copy of the paper - I think it was called the sixth sense IIRC

The Leader
The Leader was a free newspaper in Brighton back in the early 1990s. It contained a lot of community information that was sometimes - but not, I think, always, a subset of what was carried in the local paid-for Argus.

Latest homes
"The Latest", later "Latest Homes" was originally a tabloid entertainments paper, before becoming a novel format A4ish magazine where opening from one side gave listings and ents whilst opening from the "back" (upside down) had property listings together with information about neighbourhoods and social events. Overall this is quite a strong document about the cultural life of Brighton through the 1990s and 2000s.

SchNews
Dubbed by the Guardian newspaper as "The National Newsletter of the Protest Movement", this weekly news-sheet was produced during the 1990s and provides important documentary of the "Non-violent direct action" movement of the time. Bringing in social justice, international affairs, political campaigning, and environmental action, its lack of secure funding means that its own internet archive has had a rocky time. Almost all issues are available, not least because the annual collections/compendia were sent in to the British Library :)
