The paper began publication on 18 February 1821 as "The New Observer", but from 21 April its title was changed to the "Independent Observer". Its founder, Henry White, chose the name in an apparent attempt to take advantage of the success of the "Observer", which had been founded in 1791, although there was no connection between the two papers. On 20 October 1822 it was reborn as "The Sunday Times", although it had no relationship with "The Times". In January 1823, White sold the paper to Daniel Whittle Harvey, a radical politician. Under its new owner, "The Sunday Times" notched up several firsts: a wood engraving it published of the coronation of Queen Victoria in 1838 was the largest illustration to have appeared in a British newspaper; in 1841, it became one of the first papers to serialise a novel: William Harrison Ainsworth's "Old St Paul's".

"The Sunday Times" was founded by W. H. Leighton Bailey. It was first published on 15 November 1885 by Charles Mark Curtiss, and ceased with no. 2389 on 1 June 1930. "The Sunday Times" was controlled by the Evans family for over 30 years, until 1916 when the Sunday Times Newspaper Company, as well as the company's premises, were sold to Hugh D. McIntosh. In 1927, McIntosh sold his holdings in the Sunday Times Newspaper Company to Beckett's Newspapers, with J. H. C. Sleeman as Managing Director. "The Sunday Times" ceased publication in 1930, with staff informed on 8 June.

The "Church Times" was founded on 7 February 1863 by George Josiah Palmer, a printer. It fought for the Anglo-Catholic cause in the Church of England at a time when priests were being harried and imprisoned over such matters as lighting candles on altars and wearing vestments, which brought them into conflict with the Public Worship Regulation Act 1874, intended to “put down” Ritualism. The paper defended the spiritual independence of the Church of England in spite of the Church’s Established status. Many of the ceremonial and doctrinal matters that the paper championed are now accepted as part of mainstream Anglicanism.

There was a further change of ownership in 1903, and then in 1915 the paper was bought by William Berry and his brother, Gomer Berry, later ennobled as Lord Camrose and Viscount Kemsley respectively. Under their ownership, "The Sunday Times" continued its reputation for innovation: on 23 November 1930, it became the first Sunday newspaper to publish a 40-page issue and on 21 January 1940, news replaced advertising on the front page. In 1943, the Kemsley Newspapers Group was established, with "The Sunday Times" becoming its flagship paper. At this time, Kemsley was the largest newspaper group in Britain. On 12 November 1945, Ian Fleming, who later created James Bond, joined the paper as foreign manager (foreign editor) and special writer.

The newspaper was founded by Tom Rubython in order to provide a Sunday alternative to the "Financial Times", achieving sales of around 150,000 on launch, falling to fewer than 20,000 within months. In 1997 the title was bought by the Barclay Brothers, David and Frederick Barclay, who at the time owned "The European" newspaper and subsequently, "The Daily Telegraph" and "The Scotsman". It was re-launched on 15 February 1998 with an exclusive interview with Gordon Brown, who promised a budget tailored towards the business community. "The Sunday Business" became a critical success and within its first two years of production had won numerous industry awards, including Newspaper of The Year (1999) and Newspaper Design of the Year (1998, 2000).

The "Sunday Times" was first published on 4 February 1906 as a weekly, sister publication of the "Rand Daily Mail" which at the time was "standing alone" against its rival Transvaal Leader. Founding editor George Herbert Kingswell introduced the slogan "A paper for the People". It was later changed to "The Paper for the People", a slogan that is still in use today. For the first edition of the paper, published on 4 February 1906, 11,600 copies were printed and soon sold out, forcing the paper to print an additional 5000 copies. By November 1909 the paper sales had risen to 35 000.

The "Daily Telegraph and Courier" was founded by Colonel Arthur B. Sleigh in June 1855 to air a personal grievance against the future commander-in-chief of the British Army, Prince George, Duke of Cambridge. Joseph Moses Levy, the owner of "The Sunday Times", agreed to print the newspaper, and the first edition was published on 29 June 1855. The paper cost 2d and was four pages long. Nevertheless, the first edition stressed the quality and independence of its articles and journalists: However, the paper was not a success, and Sleigh was unable to pay Levy the printing bill. Levy took over the newspaper, his aim being to produce a cheaper newspaper than his main competitors in London, the "Daily News" and "The Morning Post", to expand the size of the overall market.

The Times is a British daily national newspaper based in London. It began in 1785 under the title The Daily Universal Register, adopting its current name on 1 January 1788. "The Times" and its sister paper "The Sunday Times" (founded in 1821) are published by Times Newspapers, since 1981 a subsidiary of News UK, in turn wholly owned by News Corp. "The Times" and "The Sunday Times", which do not share editorial staff, were founded independently, and have only had common ownership since 1966. "The Times" is the first newspaper to have borne that name, lending it to numerous other papers around the world, such as "The Times of India" and "The New York Times".
The Times | Introduction
In 1963, the Insight investigative team was established under Clive Irving. On 27 September 1964, the "Business" section was launched, making "The Sunday Times" Britain's first regular three-section newspaper. In September 1966, Thomson bought "The Times", to form Times Newspapers Ltd (TNL). It was the first time both "The Sunday Times" and "The Times" had been brought under the same ownership. Harold Evans, editor from 1967 until 1981, established "The Sunday Times" as a leading campaigning and investigative newspaper. On 19 May 1968, the paper published its first major campaigning report on the drug Thalidomide, which had been reported by the Australian doctor William McBride in "The Lancet" in 1961 as associated with birth defects, and quickly withdrawn.

Freedom of the press was established in Great Britain in 1695. Popular British daily national newspapers include "The Times", "The Sun", "Daily Mail", "The Daily Telegraph", "Daily Mirror", "Daily Express" and "The Guardian". Founded by publisher John Walter in 1785, "The Times" is the first newspaper to have borne that name, lending it to numerous other papers around the world, and is the originator of the widely used Times Roman typeface, created by Victor Lardent and commissioned by Stanley Morison in 1931. Newspaper and publishing magnate Alfred Harmsworth played a major role in "shaping the modern press" – Harmsworth introduced or harnessed "broad contents, exploitation of advertising revenue to subsidize prices, aggressive marketing, subordinate regional markets, independence from party control" – and was called "the greatest figure who ever strode down Fleet Street." "The Economist" was founded by James Wilson in 1843, and the daily "Financial Times" was founded in 1888.

The founders of the paper were former members of the left-wing group Big Flame. They decided that a left-wing mass-circulation tabloid Sunday newspaper was possible and endeavoured to start one. The idea of the paper was originally thought up by Benjamin Lowe. The leaders were John Pilger as editor-in-chief and Alan Hayling, but Pilger left before the newspaper was launched. The decision to base its headquarters in Manchester was criticised as it was away from the centre of national political activity. The paper gave a controlling interest to a collective of workers and its share issue raised £6.5 million from trade unions and Labour local authority pension funds.

"The New York Times" was founded as the New-York Daily Times on September 18, 1851. Founded by journalist and politician Henry Jarvis Raymond and former banker George Jones, the "Times" was initially published by Raymond, Jones & Company. Early investors in the company included Edwin B. Morgan, Christopher Morgan, and Edward B. Wesley. Sold for a penny (equivalent to ¢ today), the inaugural edition attempted to address various speculations on its purpose and positions that preceded its release: In 1852, the newspaper started a western division, The Times of California, which arrived whenever a mail boat from New York docked in California.

The newspaper became known as a launchpad for the successful careers of the small team put together by editor Jeff Randall in the winter of 1997/8. The newspaper made various moves, both in editorial style and physical location. The newspaper was originally based in Cavendish Square in Central London, while the re-launched newspaper was based in the offices of ITN News in Gray's Inn Road, moving on to South Quay in London Docklands in 2000 and then finally back to the City at Waterhouse Square.

Since the mid-1950s, the paper’s sympathies have broadened, embracing the principle of diversity in the worldwide Anglican Communion, and looking more favourably on other Christian denominations. The paper carries more editorial and advertising than any of its main rivals for an Anglican readership. The paper has always been independent from the church hierarchy. From its foundation until 1989 it was owned by the Palmer family, ending with Dr Bernard Palmer, who combined the tasks of owner and editor for the final 20 years. He sold it to the charity Hymns Ancient & Modern, then chaired by Dr Henry Chadwick.

"The Oxford Times" was founded in 1862 as a weekly broadsheet. In 1922, T.E. Lawrence (known as Lawrence of Arabia) commissioned "The Oxford Times" to typeset and print an advance private edition of "Seven Pillars of Wisdom". This is known as the "1922 Edition" or the "Oxford Text" of "Seven Pillars". "The Oxford Times" has won a number of national awards including Regional Weekly Newspaper of the Year in 2004, 2005, and 2007.

Established by Frederick Vosper in the 1890s, "The Sunday Times" became a vehicle for the harassment of C. Y. O'Connor and the proposed Goldfields Water Supply Scheme in the late 1890s until O'Connor's death by suicide in 1902. A subsequent government inquiry found no justification for Vosper's campaign against O'Connor. The paper was purchased from Vosper's estate by James MacCallum Smith and Arthur Reid in 1901. In 1912 MacCallum Smith became sole proprietor and managing director, remaining in that role until 1935, as well as being a member of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly for 20 years. A. T. Chandler succeeded J.

The paper launched as the "Sunday Pictorial" on 14 March 1915. Lord Rothermere – who owned the paper – introduced the "Sunday Pictorial" to the British public with the idea of striking a balance between socially responsible reporting of great issues of the day and sheer entertainment. Although the newspaper has gone through many refinements in its near 100-year history those original core values are still in place today.

The British Institution was founded in June 1805 by a group of private subscribers who met in the Thatched House Tavern in London. A committee was formed, and in September of that year it purchased the lease of the former Boydell Shakespeare Gallery building at 52 Pall Mall, with 62 years remaining, for a premium of £4,500 and an annual ground rent of £125. The British Institution opened at the Pall Mall site on 18 January 1806. The founding "Hereditory Governors" included Sir George Beaumont, 7th Baronet and Charles Long, 1st Baron Farnborough, both of whom had employed the services of the leading dealer and picture-cleaner William Seguier, and were probably responsible for his appointment as "Superintendent".

The paper was founded in 1865 by John Corlett, of Charlton Court, East Sutton, Kent, who was both its editor and its proprietor, and by Dr Joseph Henry Shorthouse. Corlett also wrote a column in the paper called 'Our Note Book' and was associated with it from 1865 to 1913. "The Sporting Times" was published on a Saturday, and its competitors included "The Field", "The Sportsman", the "Sporting Life", and "Bell's Life in London". According to Alexander Andrews's "Chapters in the History of British Journalism", the paper thrived "less upon its racing news than upon its profusion of coarse and scurrilous scraps of tittle-tattle, representing 'society journalism' in its most degraded form".

The newspaper was founded as a Tory newspaper by a printer called William Hodgetts in 1825 to provide an alternative to "The Times", whose editorial line was controversial locally. Historical copies of the "Birmingham Journal", dating back to its first issue in 1825, are available to search and view in digitised form at The British Newspaper Archive.

"The Times" faced financial extinction in 1890 under Arthur Fraser Walter, but it was rescued by an energetic editor, Charles Frederic Moberly Bell. During his tenure (1890–1911), "The Times" became associated with selling the "Encyclopædia Britannica" using aggressive American marketing methods introduced by Horace Everett Hooper and his advertising executive, Henry Haxton. Due to legal fights between the "Britannica's" two owners, Hooper and Walter Montgomery Jackson, "The Times" severed its connection in 1908 and was bought by pioneering newspaper magnate, Alfred Harmsworth, later Lord Northcliffe. In editorials published on 29 and 31 July 1914, Wickham Steed, the "Times's" Chief Editor, argued that the British Empire should enter World War I.

"The Day" was founded in July 1881 as a mouthpiece of the local Republican Party in an era when many American newspapers served political parties. It was owned by a wealthy mercantile family in New London. In 1889, the original publisher, Maj. John A. Tibbits, left the paper to take a government post in England. The paper struggled for a few years until the family convinced Theodore Bodenwein to purchase the paper. He purchased it in 1891, agreeing to change his political affiliation to Republican in order to secure a loan to purchase the paper. He remained the publisher until his death in 1939.

In 1959 the Kemsley group was bought by Lord Thomson, and in October 1960 circulation reached one million for the first time. In another first, on 4 February 1962 the editor, Denis Hamilton, launched "The Sunday Times Magazine". (At the insistence of newsagents, worried at the impact on sales of standalone magazines, it was initially called the "colour section" and did not take the name "The Sunday Times Magazine" until 9 August 1964.) The cover picture of the first issue was of Jean Shrimpton wearing a Mary Quant outfit and was taken by David Bailey. The magazine got off to a slow start, but the advertising soon began to pick up, and, over time, other newspapers launched magazines of their own.

The daily sponsors an annual book award and publishes a "Person of the Year" feature. The paper was founded in 1888 as the London Financial Guide before rebranding a year later as the "Financial Times". It was first circulated around metropolitan London by James Sheridan, who, along with his brother and Horatio Bottomley, sought to report on city business opposite the "Financial News". The succeeding half-century competition between the two papers would eventually culminate in a 1945 merger, led by Brendan Bracken, which established it as one of the largest business newspapers in the world. Globalisation from the late-19th to mid-20th century facilitated editorial expansion for the "FT", with the paper adding opinion columns, special reports, political cartoons, reader letters, book reviews, technology articles, and global politics features.
Financial Times | Introduction
For much of its early life, the profits of "The Times" were very large and the competition minimal, so it could pay far better than its rivals for information or writers. Beginning in 1814, the paper was printed on the new steam-driven cylinder press developed by Friedrich Koenig. In 1815, "The Times" had a circulation of 5,000. Thomas Barnes was appointed general editor in 1817. In the same year, the paper's printer James Lawson, died and passed the business onto his son John Joseph Lawson (1802–1852). Under the editorship of Barnes and his successor in 1841, John Thadeus Delane, the influence of "The Times" rose to great heights, especially in politics and amongst the City of London.
The Times | 1785 to 1890
Swift had control of the journal for 33 issues between November 1710 and June 1711, but once he became dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, he gave up regular journalistic work. In 1702 Edward Lloyd, the virtual founder of the famous "Lloyd's" of commerce, started a thrice a week newspaper, "Lloyd's News", which had but a brief existence in its initial form, but was the precursor of the modern "Lloyd's List". The 76th issue of the original paper contained a paragraph mentioning the House of Lords, for which the publisher was told he would have to pay a fine.

"The Daily Universal Register" published from 1785 and become known as "The Times" from 1788. In 1817 Thomas Barnes became general editor; he was a political radical, a sharp critic of parliamentary hypocrisy and a champion of freedom of the press. Under Barnes and his successor in 1841, John Thadeus Delane, the influence of "The Times" rose to great heights, especially in politics and in the financial district (the City of London). It spoke for reform. Due to Barnes's influential support for Catholic Emancipation in Ireland, his colleague Lord Lyndhurst described him as "the most powerful man in the country".

The paper was founded in 1965 by a group of five men: advertising salesman Richard Addison, Gerald McKnight, onetime editor of the Sunday Dispatch; David English, later to become Sir David English, and South African millionaire lawyers Rayne Kruger and Anthony Aaronson. The paper was founded with one manager, one reporter, one advertising representative, a secretary, a part-time distribution manager, photographer and fashion writer, and 140 boys to deliver the 29,000 copies. The newspaper office, in Orpington, was above a hairdressers in Chislehurst Road. The paper was distributed for free, an unusual step at the time. Early contributors included Norris McWhirter and Ross McWhirter.

The charity began when six people set up a voluntary society, The United Kingdom Beneficent Association (UKBA), to aid the newly poor in 1863. Their goal was to prevent destitution by providing those in poverty with a small, regular income for life. Applicants were required to be over 40, living on less than £25 a year and from the 'upper and middle classes' (who were thought to have been 'sadly overlooked in the desire... to better the condition of the lower orders'). These original founders were Sir William Thomas Charley and his brother-in-law, Captain William Mackenzie, Captain James Story, Reverend William Cardall, Reverend Walter Howse, and Reverend William Windle.

"The Tablet" was launched in 1840 by a Quaker convert to Catholicism, Frederick Lucas, 10 years before the restoration of the Catholic hierarchy in England and Wales. It is the second-oldest surviving weekly journal in Britain. For the first 28 years of its life, "The Tablet" was owned by lay Catholics. Following the death of Lucas in 1855, it was purchased by John Edward Wallis, a Catholic barrister of the Inner Temple. Wallis continued as owner and editor until resigning and putting the newspaper up for sale in 1868. In 1868, the Rev. Herbert Vaughan (who was later made a cardinal), who had founded the only British Catholic missionary society, the Mill Hill Missionaries, purchased the journal just before the First Vatican Council, which defined papal infallibility.
The Tablet | History
The first appearance of a newspaper using the name "The Irish Times" occurred in 1823, but this closed in 1825. The title was revived—initially as a thrice-weekly publication but soon becoming a daily—by a 22-year-old army officer, Lawrence E. Knox (later known as Major Lawrence Knox), with the first edition being published on 29 March 1859. It was founded as a moderate Protestant newspaper, reflecting the politics of Knox, who envisaged it as a "new conservative daily newspaper". Its headquarters were at 4 Lower Abbey Street in Dublin. Its main competitor in its early days was the Dublin "Daily Express".

In 1981, "The Times" and "The Sunday Times" were bought from Thomson by Rupert Murdoch's News International. The acquisition followed three weeks of intensive bargaining with the unions by company negotiators John Collier and Bill O'Neill. Murdoch gave legal undertakings to maintain separate journalism resources for the two titles. The Royal Arms was reintroduced to the masthead at about this time, but whereas previously it had been that of the reigning monarch, it would now be that of the House of Hanover, who were on the throne when the newspaper was founded. After 14 years as editor, William Rees-Mogg resigned upon completion of the change of ownership.

First published in Barnard Castle in 1847. It was the brainchild of Liberal philanthropist and barrister, George Brown, who sought to challenge the Tory monopoly of the press in the region. The following year it relocated to Darlington, where it has continued to be published from to the present day. Founder George Brown then sold it to property developers, Robert and William Thompson. In 1864, the Thompsons went into liquidation and it was then sold to Henry King Spark. Spark purchased the paper to raise his own political profile in and around the Darlington area. In 1867, the D&S Times was instrumental in both Darlington's Incorporation and its creation into a Parliamentary borough.

"The Times" was founded by publisher John Walter on 1 January 1785 as "The Daily Universal Register," with Walter in the role of editor. Walter had lost his job by the end of 1784 after the insurance company for which he worked went bankrupt due to losses from a Jamaican hurricane. Unemployed, Walter began a new business venture. At that time, Henry Johnson invented the logography, a new typography that was reputedly faster and more precise (although three years later, it was proved less efficient than advertised). Walter bought the logography's patent and with it opened a printing house to produce books.

Freedom from most taxes in the 1830s encouraged the launching of such titles. The "Daily Telegraph, which" appeared on 29 June 1855 and soon sold for 1 d. Sixteen new major provincials papers were founded, and older titles enlarge their scope. "The Manchester Guardian," started out as a weekly in 1821, became a daily of 1855, as did the "Liverpool Post" and the "Scotsman." The newspapers were stodgy affairs bringing great prestige and political influence to the closed network of families that owned them. "The Times", edited by John Thadeus Delane stood preeminent.

The "Sunday Sport" was founded in 1986, the first issue for sale was dated 14 September 1986. Its original publisher was David Sullivan. Advertising in the "Sunday Sport" was once the responsibility of Sullivan's protegee Karren Brady (now the life peer Baroness Brady), who later became managing director of Birmingham City Football Club and vice chairman of West Ham United. Sullivan sold the paper to Sport Newspapers, but had to give them a £1.68m bailout in 2009. The last editor was Nick Appleyard, appointed in September 2007. His predecessors included Dominic Mohan, Michael Gabbert and Paul Carter. Its sister daily title, "Daily Sport", began publication in 1991, but ceased publication and entered administration on 1 April 2011.

However, it forced the conversion of all UK national newspapers to electronic production and colour printing. The newspaper's motto, hung in the newsroom, was "propa truth, not propaganda". Launched by regional newspaper entrepreneur Eddy Shah, it was bought by Tiny Rowland's conglomerate Lonrho within four months. Shah subsequently launched the short-lived, unsuccessful national tabloid "The Post" in 1988. Alastair Campbell was political editor and his girlfriend, Fiona Millar, was news editor. Alongside the daily newspaper, a Sunday edition was launched. "Sunday Today" suffered from having three editors in less than a year, and was closed early in 1987 as a cost-saving measure.

They were essentially the same group who were to succeed in persuading the government to found the National Gallery in 1824, and whose gifts to it provided most of the early collection. There was a total group of 125 Governors, Directors and Subscribers, paying sums between 100 guineas (56 of them, 35 at 50g., 11 at 10g.) down to one guinea annually. In 1805 the initial subscribers consisted of "One duke, five marquesses, fourteen earls, two viscounts, nine lords, two bishops, four ladies, seven baronets, twenty-two members of parliament, five clergymen and above fifty private gentlemen, bankers and merchants". The Institution had been discussed with the Royal Academy before it was established, and relations were friendly, at least initially, though later there were to be tensions.

James Curran and Jean Seaton report: "The Times" was long the most influential prestige newspaper, although far from having the largest circulation. It gave far more attention to serious political and cultural news. In 1922, John Jacob Astor (1886-1971), son of the 1st Viscount Astor (1849-1919), bought "The Times" from the Northcliffe estate. The paper advocated appeasement of Hitler's demands. Its editor Geoffrey Dawson was closely allied with Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, and pushed hard for the Munich Agreement in 1938. Candid news reports by Norman Ebbutt from Berlin that warned of warmongering were rewritten in London to support the appeasement policy.

Edward Heath, the future British Prime Minister, was news editor of the "Church Times" from February 1948 to September 1949. His work was “a mixture of administration, reporting, and sub-editing”. His assignments for the paper included covering the 1948 Anglo-Catholic Congress and Wand's Mission to London. N.T. Wright (Tom Wright) was a weekly devotional columnist (Sunday’s Readings) from 1995 to 2000.

The paper began in 1785 and in 1788 was renamed "The Times." In 1817, Thomas Barnes was appointed general editor; he was a political radical, a sharp critic of parliamentary hypocrisy and a champion of freedom of the press. Under Barnes and his successor in 1841, John Thadeus Delane, the influence of The Times rose to great heights, especially in politics and amongst the City of London. It spoke for reform. Peter Fraser and Edward Sterling were two noted journalists, and gained for The Times the pompous/satirical nickname 'The Thunderer' (from "We thundered out the other day an article on social and political reform.") The paper was the first in the world to reach mass circulation due to its early adoption of the steam-driven rotary printing press.

He undertook to guarantee the first four volumes of "X", and proved an ideal backer—he never interfered. Indeed, I never even met him...Apart from Swift and myself there was no other staff, for we had determined to cut out all unnecessary expenses...The first number of "X" was carefully planned, and well received.

"Bell's Life" was founded by Robert Bell, a London printer-publisher. Bell sold it to William Innell Clement, owner of "The Observer", in 1824 or 1825, and the paper swallowed up a competitor, "Pierce Egan's Life in London and Sporting Guide". From 1824 to 1852 it was edited by Vincent George Dowling, "during which time "Bell's Life" became Britain's leading sporting newspaper, without which no gentleman's Sunday was quite complete". Dowling's son, Frank Lewis Dowling, effectively edited the paper during the last year of his father's life, and succeeded him as editor from 1852 to 1867. By the 1860s "Bell's Life" was facing competition from "The Field", "The Sportsman", "Sporting Life", and "The Sporting Times".

The first recorded Sunday school opened in 1751 in St Mary's Church, Nottingham. Hannah Ball made another early start, founding a school in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire,in 1769. However, the pioneer of Sunday schools is commonly said to be Robert Raikes, editor of the "Gloucester Journal", who in 1781, after prompting from William King (who was running a Sunday School in Dursley), recognised the need of children living in the Gloucester slums; the need also to prevent them from taking up crime. He opened a school in the home of a Mrs Meredith, operating it on a Sunday - the only day that the boys and girls working in the factories could attend.

Its first issue was published on September 6, 1896, and contained the first photographs ever printed in the newspaper. In the early decades, it was a section of the broadsheet paper and not an insert as it is today. The creation of a "serious" Sunday magazine was part of a massive overhaul of the newspaper instigated that year by its new owner, Adolph Ochs, who also banned fiction, comic strips and gossip columns from the paper, and is generally credited with saving "The New York Times" from financial ruin. In 1897, the magazine published a 16-page spread of photographs documenting Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, a "costly feat" that resulted in a wildly popular issue and helped boost the magazine to success.

In 1989, the Sunday title was briefly merged into a seven-day operation under Max Hastings's overall control. In 2005, the paper was revamped, with Stella being added to the more traditional television and radio section. It costs £2.20 and includes separate Money, Living, Sport and Business supplements. Circulation of "The Sunday Telegraph" in July 2010 was 505,214 (ABC)

In return, Murdoch provided legally binding guarantees to preserve the titles' editorial independence. Evans was appointed editor of "The Times" in February 1981 and was replaced at "The Sunday Times" by Frank Giles. In 1983, the newspaper bought the serialisation rights to publish the faked "Hitler Diaries", thinking them to be genuine after they were authenticated by the own newspaper's own independent director, Hugh Trevor-Roper, the historian and author of "The Last Days of Hitler". Under Andrew Neil, editor from 1983 until 1994, "The Sunday Times" took a strongly Thatcherite slant that contrasted with the traditional paternalistic conservatism expounded by Peregrine Worsthorne at the rival "Sunday Telegraph".

Daily Information was first founded by John Rose in 1964. The first printed sheet was a single side of A4, simply showing the theatre and cinema listings for the week ahead, as well as offering information on placing announcements in further editions, news on "digs" and items "for sale". On Daily Info's conception, Rose said: "The need for an easy, immediate form of communication was also apparent in the Oxford of the early sixties. I tried to put an ad in the "Oxford Mail". You couldn’t put it in by phone, so I went down to their office in New Inn Hall St on Thursday afternoon.

The Sunday School was founded in 1784, the articles of association being adopted on 11 November 1784. The aim was that the town be divided into six, and an establishment provided for each division. Two subscribers should visit each school and report back to the committee. Scholars should attend from 9 to 12 in the morning, and from 1 to 6 in the afternoon, of which part would be attending a church service of their persuasion. Teachers were to be paid 1s 6d a day. They started with eleven schools, and twenty three teachers taught 700-800 children. One of the schools abandoned the practice of paying teachers and encouraged a large number of unpaid volunteers to do the job.

The newspaper was founded in 1980 by John Mulcahy as a tabloid with Conor Brady (later editor of "The Irish Times") as its first editor. The format changed to broadsheet with the addition of a colour supplement magazine after the first year. It was moderately successful but its growing financial stability (it had not yet made a profit but was moving in that direction) was undermined when its then owner, Hugh McLaughlin, launched the financially misjudged downmarket tabloid "Daily News" in 1982. The "News" proved to be a publishing disaster, with poor quality printing, bad distribution, and misjudged content, and pulled its sister paper, the "Tribune", down with it within weeks.

The newspaper was founded by Coleridge Kennard and Harry Marks. The first issue appeared on 26 July 1881. It was the first popular evening paper in London. It was priced at one halfpenny, distinguishing itself from the more serious penny papers such as "The Times". The first issues were printed on light blue paper, and later editions on yellow and green paper. The rivalry between halfpenny papers in the late 19th century was fierce, and almost ended the "Evening News". According to some sources the paper was losing £40,000 a year. The brothers Alfred and Harold Harmsworth bought the paper for £25,000 in 1894.

He stood down as editor in 1883 and was replaced by Daniel Conner Lathbury. His outspoken views on political and ecclesiastical matters, and especially his opposition to the Boer War, led to his dismissal in 1899.

John Walter I was born in London in 1738. Making, and subsequently losing, a fortune as a coal merchant and underwriter, in 1785, Walter established "The Daily Universal Register", "to record the principal occurrences of the times". Renamed "The Times" in 1788, within twenty years "The Thunderer" had become the newspaper of record for the British Empire. By a combination of exceptionally fast reporting; "The Times"' report of Nelson's victory at the Battle of Trafalgar was published several days before the British government received the official communique from the Admiralty; and technological innovation, "The Times" had the first steam-powered printing press; Walter's son, John Walter II, made the newspaper profitable.
