The People
The People is a weekly red-top tabloid newspaper published on Sundays, with a left-wing political outlook (inasmuch as there’s any political content at all).
It was founded in 1881 as the Sunday People and retained that title for well over a century after its foundation. At times it’s been a bit of a mystery as to how The People has managed to keep going – it’s part of the Trinity Mirror Group, who also publish the Sunday Mirror, and there’s not a great deal to distinguish it from its more successful sister paper. However, a conscious decision was made in 2003 to differentiate clearly between the two titles, including through the launch of an improved colour supplement for The People, Take It Easy. As of late 2011 it was still selling some 800,000 copies every Sunday.
