The News of Cumberland County, previously the Bridgeton Evening News, was a daily newspaper in Cumberland County, New Jersey, United States.

History
The paper was founded as the Bridgeton Evening News in 1879.
Advance Publications bought MediaNews' New Jersey and Pennsylvania newspapers in 2000.[4] Advance renamed the paper Bridgeton News; the Millville zoned edition became the Millville News. Both editions were merged on November 3, 2008 to form The News of Cumberland County. In 2012 The News was merged with two other Advance Publications papers in the South Jersey area, Today's Sunbeam and the Gloucester County Times, to form the South Jersey Times. News staff were brought over to the new regional publication; its last edition was published on November 3, 2014.[2]
