The Edmonson News, also known by its alternative title The Gimlet, is a weekly newspaper based in Brownsville, Kentucky, and serving Edmonson County in west-central Kentucky, including Brownsville and surrounding communities.

Bill Canty has been publishing the newspaper with weekly happenings in the area for a total of 50 years.

In the wake of Bill and Cathy Canty's retirement plans in 2016, the Edmonson News was purchased by Horse Cave-based Jobe Publishing, Inc., the owner of county newspapers in neighboring Barren, Butler, and Hart counties, along with two additional weekly newspapers in Metcalfe and Monroe Counties.
