Welcome to British Papers – all about the United Kingdom’s vibrant national, regional and local press. Whether you’re interested in the daily or weekly newspapers, tabloid or broadsheet format, or even magazines or trade publications, there’s something here for you! We’ve covered the heavyweight, “quality” papers, the downmarket “redtops“, and the midmarket ones in between too. And you’ll find links to their online versions as well.

After many years as a simple listings site, British Newspapers Online underwent a facelift in October 2007! We’ve aimed to modernise the overall look and feel. We’ve also taken the decision to give each newspaper its own page, and to update and expand the information about each of them – starting with the national papers, and working through the regional and local press over the coming months.

In our In the News category, we take a look at some of the more interesting, important but obscure, or just plain weird stories that have appeared in the British newspapers online. We’ve added a bit of editorial comment of our own too. Why not have a look? You can join in on this part of the site yourself – if you’ve got something to say about any of the stories we’ve covered, just leave a comment. We’d love to hear what you’ve got to say!

Our Newspaper Obituaries section reviews what the British newspapers online have to say about the recently deceased great and good. We’ll be running a summary of the most prominent obituaries whenever someone notable shuffles off this mortal coil.
