List of newspapers in the United Kingdom

List of newspapers in the United Kingdom - 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 switched to a 'compact'-sized format, traditionally used by tabloids. The Guardian has switched in September 2005 to a Berliner format, a few centimetres wider than a compact, and about 10 centimetres 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.

List of newspapers in the United Kingdom - 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). The single major exception to this pattern was the well-regarded Manchester Guardian, which dropped the 'Manchester' from its name (1959) and relocated to London (1964). The group continued to produce a Mancunian paper, the Manchester Evening News.
