Founded in 1972,[3] it was published twice-weekly (Monday and Thursday) until 2011, when the Monday edition was "axed".[4][5]
In 2016, prior to the newspaper reducing publication frequency, the Audit Bureau of Circulations reported that the Andersonstown News had an average circulation of 8,457 for the Monday edition[6] and 16,453 for the Thursday edition[6]
The North Belfast News, previously published separately, was combined with the Andersonstown News in 2022 in one newspaper due to rising costs.[7] The South Belfast News is also part of the Belfast Media Group.[8] A former newspaper in the group, the Daily Ireland, was published between early 2005 and September 2006.[9][10] An Irish language paper, Lá (also known as Lá Nua) was also previously associated with the group.[11][12]
