LIST OF NEWSPAPERS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

(Redirected from British press)

National newspapers

Traditionally newspapers could be split into "quality", "serious-minded" newspapers (usually referred to as ''broadsheets'' due to their large size) and ''tabloid'', less serious newspapers. However, due to considerations of convenience of reading, particularly in cafés and on trains etc., ''The Independent'' and ''The Times'' have both recently switched to a 'compact'-sized format, traditionally used by tabloids. ''The Guardian'' switched in September 2005 to a ''Berliner'' format, a few centimetres wider than a compact, and about 10 centimetres (4 inches) taller.
Sunday "serious-minded" newspapers have tended to keep the broadsheet format due to considerations of size, as to maintain the same level of content in a tabloid paper would result in a single section many would find too thick, heavy and cumbersome. Conveniently, fewer people read their Sunday newspaper on a crowded train.

Local newspapers

Most towns and cities in the UK have at least one local newspaper, such as the ''Evening Post'' in Bristol and ''The Echo'' in Cardiff. However, they are not known nationally for their journalism in the way that (despite much syndication) city-based newspapers in the USA are (e.g. ''The New York Times'', ''The Washington Post'', ''The Boston Globe''). A major exception to this pattern was the well-regarded ''Manchester Guardian'', which dropped the 'Manchester' from its name (1959) and relocated its main operations to London (1964). The group continues to produce a Mancunian paper, the ''Manchester Evening News''.

Papurau Bro

'''Papurau Bro''' ''(Area Papers)'' are Welsh language newspapers produced nominally monthly (typically 10 issues a year with a summer break) which cover the news in a small area -- a town, group of parishes, one or a few valleys, etc., with a circulation of perhaps a few thousand each. There are between 50 and 60 ''Papurau Bro'' which cover the whole of Wales, plus the Welsh communities of Liverpool and London. Papers are frequently named after local features, connections, crafts, etc, or in dialect (''clebran, clecs, clochdar, and clonc'' all imply ''gossip''). The first "papur bro" (Y Dinesydd) appeared in 1973 in Cardiff, and the following decade saw the establishment of most of the others. Much of the work of producing the papers is done voluntarily (aside from the printing), although financial support is given by Bwrdd yr Iaith (Welsh Language Board). Some of the papers listed may have ceased publication.
