The Bugle-Observer is a newspaper based in Woodstock, New Brunswick, which provides local news to Carleton and York Counties. The paper publishes twice weekly, on Tuesday and a weekend edition on Friday.

History

Woodstock's newspaper began as two papers, The Bugle and The Observer in the neighboring town of Hartland. The papers merged to become the Bugle-Observer and today provide all of Carleton County with the latest news and events. In 2008 The Bugle Observer celebrated its 100th Anniversary in the Woodstock market, one of the oldest newspapers in New Brunswick.The Bugle-Observer is published Tuesday and the Bugle-Observer Weekend is distributed Friday.

The paper is owned by Brunswick News. The paper has gone by the name of The Bugle since the early 1980s until it was sold to Brunswick News in 2003. Before being called The Bugle, the paper was called The Carleton Sentinel. The paper in neighboring town Hartland, the Observer, was bought by Brunswick News soon after. Brunswick News combined both paper's staffs into one office in Woodstock, publishing each paper separately for a short time before combining them into one single edition to cover both towns and surrounding areas.

The website of the Bugle Observer is no longer in operation, with rumours circulating the paper is to be closed by Nov. 1, 2009.
