Turriff Advertiser

The Turriff Advertiser (nicknamed "The Squeak") is a paid-for weekly newspaper in Turriff, Aberdeenshire, founded in 1933 and published by W. Peters (Print & Design) Ltd. It is published every Thursday, though it bears a Friday cover date.

The paper covers the town itself and a wide rural area. It is noted for its extensive coverage of the local sports scene, particularly the fortunes of the town's Highland Football League club, Turriff United F.C..

The Turriff Advertiser has two sister papers, the Inverurie Advertiser and Ellon Advertiser, all of which are produced at W. Peters' premises in Turriff. News and sport are local to each, though some features such as the reports on local livestock markets, bulletins from the local MP and MSP (currently Eilidh Whiteford and Alex Salmond respectively), and the entertainment pages (which mostly focus on forthcoming attractions in the nearest city, Aberdeen), are common to all three.
