All about the United Kingdom’s national, regional and local press
The mass-market end of the British press, with little hard news but plenty of celebrity gossip, sensational crime reporting and loads of sport and entertainment coverage.
Daily Mirror
Daily red-top tabloid – the only national newspaper to support Labour consistently since 1945
Daily Sport (defunct)
Former stablemate of the Sunday Sport – an unapologetically trashy tabloid, with no pretensions at all to hard news coverage
Daily Star
Daily red-top tabloid launched in 1978 with the aim of competing for The Sun‘s readership
Daily Star Sunday
Sunday companion to Express Newspapers’ red-top national tabloid the Daily Star, founded in 2002
Midweek Sport
Midweek companion title to the Sunday Sport, with a similar content based largely on soft porn
News of the World (defunct)
The English-speaking world’s biggest-selling Sunday newspaper until it closed in 2011 over the phone-hacking scandal
The Sun
The red-top par excellence, founded in 1964 and owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News International
The Sun (Sunday)
Red-top tabloid, Sunday edition of the UK’s biggest-selling newspaper
Sunday Mirror
Like its daily namesake, a left-wing populist tabloid with little in the way of hard news
Sunday People
Left-wing red-top tabloid published on Sundays. Very little to choose between it and its more successful sister paper, the Sunday Mirror
Sunday Sport
Weekly tabloid notorious for its lack of news and its surfeit of “glamour” models and chatline ads
Weekend Sport
Friday and Saturday companion of the Sunday Sport, with the same content of bizarre “news”, soft porn and sex adverts
