The Jersey Evening Post (JEP) is a local newspaper published six days a week in the Bailiwick of Jersey. It was printed in broadsheet format for 87 years, though it is now of compact (tabloid) size. Its strapline is: "At the heart of island life".
Until the newspaper moved to Saint Saviour in 1977, it was based in Saint Helier. The distinctive façade of the former offices at the corner of Charles Street and Bath Street pictured here is still recalled in the Under the Clock column of miscellany.
From 14 March 1982 until 2007 the Jèrriais articles were accompanied by a parallel translation in English.
Jersey, officially known as the Bailiwick of Jersey, is an island country and self-governing British Crown Dependency near the coast of north-west France. It is the largest of the Channel Islands and is 14 miles (23 km) from the Cotentin Peninsula in Normandy. The Bailiwick consists of the main island of Jersey and some surrounding uninhabited islands and rocks including Les Dirouilles, Les Écréhous, Les Minquiers, and Les Pierres de Lecq.
