British newspapers

Broadsheets (quality press)
Tabloids (popular press)
Middle-market newspapers
The UK Press

We can divide all of the UK newspapers into more serious-minded ones usually referred to as the broadsheets because of their large size. They are also known as “quality press” which is the opposite to “popular press” that is called tabloids. The tabloids focus more on celebrity life and human interest stories rather than political or overseas news. There are also middle-market newspapers - the ones that attempt to cater to readers who want some entertainment from their newspaper as well as the coverage of important news events.
The qualities: The Times, The Guardian, Financial Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Observer, The Independent etc.
Middle-market newspapers: Daily Mail, Daily Express and their Sunday digests
Tabloids: The Sun, Daily Mirror, Daily Star and their Sunday digests, The People, The Morning Star.

The newspaper was first published in London in 1785 under the title The Daily Universal Register (it became Times on 1 January 1788). New issues are published daily, and it’s one of the most world-famous newspapers. It has a sister newspaper called The Sunday Times.

The Guardian, another quality newspaper which is also considered one of the most famous ones, was first published in 1821 under the name The Manchester Guardian and it was changed to The Guardian in 1959. Its website is the most frequently visited in Britain and the materials published on the Internet may differ from the ones in the printed newspaper. The Guardian has changed format and design over the years, moving from broadsheet to Berliner. Its sister papers include The Observer (British Sunday paper) and The Guardian Weekly.

Another famous broadsheet is Financial Times, the international business newspaper. Founded in 1888 by James Sheridan and Horatio Bottomley, the Financial Times competed with four other finance-oriented newspapers, in 1945 absorbing the last, the Financial News, which had been founded in 1884. The FT specialises in UK and international business and financial news, and is printed as a broadsheet on light salmon paper.

And probably the most popular British tabloid – the Sun. You can see the exact difference looking at its cover. On average, it has more than 7 million readers daily. It focuses on the life of celebrities, scandals and entertainment – the news about TV shows, pop stars and so on.
