A weekly Worthing newspaper was published in the 1820s. The Worthing Monthly Record, later the Worthing Record, appeared weekly, and flourished between 1853 and 1856. Between 1856 and 1862, a monthly periodical called the Worthing Messenger which was paid for by subscriptions but circulated free among the poor.

The Worthing Intelligencer, described as Liberal, appeared between 1856 and 1901, when it was incorporated with the Worthing Observer, which ceased publication in 1916. A Conservative paper, the Sussex Coast Mercury, flourished from 1861 to 1919, changing its name to the Worthing Mercury in 1903.

The Worthing Express, a local edition of the Sussex Express, was published between 1863 and 1902, and the Worthing Monthly Times apparently between 1865 and 1874.

The Worthing Gazette, founded in 1883 as a Conservative newspaper, and the Worthing Herald, started in 1920 by T. R. Beckett Ltd. The Gazette was bought by Beckett Newspapers in 1963. Both survived as weekly newspapers with the Gazette appearing on a Wednesday & the Herald on a Friday. Only the Worthing Herald survives today and is now owned by Portsmouth Publishing & Printing Ltd.
