The West Briton

The West Briton is a weekly tabloid newspaper for Cornwall published on Thursdays. It currently (2007) claims to be the highest selling weekly newspaper in Britain.

It has four editions:

  • Truro & Mid-Cornwall
  • Redruth, Camborne & Hayle
  • Falmouth & Penryn
  • Helston & The Lizard

It was founded in 1810 as a liberal opposition paper to the Royal Cornwall Gazette. It’s been owned by the Northcliffe Newspapers Group since the 1970s. It isn’t actually printed in Cornwall any more; since 1993 it’s been printed in Plymouth on the same presses as the Western Morning News. In 1995 it switched to tabloid format.

It shares a website with the Cornish Guardian, The Cornishman and the Western Morning News: http://www.thisiscornwall.co.uk/
