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 grou ...

The Daily Universal Register began life in 1785 and was later to become known as The Times from 1788. This was the most significant newspaper of the first half of the 19th century, but from around 1860 there were a number of more strongly competitiv ...

The Sun was launched in 1964 as a replacement for the Daily Herald, which Mirror Group Newspapers had bought from Odhams Press and the TUC. The Herald, which had until its sale to Mirror Group in 1960 officially taken the political line of the Labour Party and remained Labour-loyalist after that, was selling well over 1.2 million copies a day at the time of its demise. But its ageing working-class readers were unattractive to advertisers, Mirror Group did not want the Herald to compete with the Mirror, and market research suggested there was ...

Critics of the paper accuse it of being jingoistic, sensationalistic and subservient to Murdoch's point of view. It infamously printed the headline "Gotcha" when, during the Falklands War, Argentinian ship the General Belgrano was sunk, and often refers to foreign leaders in unflattering terms — such as dubbing president Jacques Chirac of France "le Worm". Support of British troops — referred to as "Our Boys" — in action is invariably unequivocal and, like all Murdoch-owned media, the paper has fully supported the ongoing war in Iraq. ...

The paper relies heavily on the entertainment industry, royalty and sport as well as news and politics for its content, with many items often revolving around celebrities and similar individuals. In addition to writers covering celebrities-about-town and the latest soap opera storylines, the paper is always on the lookout for celebrities in trouble or dishabille. Pictures are preferred and The Sun often uses pictures taken by paparazzi. Outside celebrity-based content, common story themes include immigration, security scandals, the so ...
