The Guardian
This is a quality daily newspaper with a social democratic radical left-of-centre philosophy and is the choice of many intellectuals, academics and liberals. In recent parliamentary elections it supported Tony Blair.
|
|
The Daily Telegraph
This is a widely-read quality daily newspaper with a long history of solid support for the Conservative party, now in opposition. It is regarded as right-of-centre with particular appeal to industry and commerce and generally supports "The Establishment"
|
|
The Times
For years The Times was synonymous with "The Establishment" and was the voice of government and monarchy. Official national announcements were always placed here. Now modernised and with a right-of-centre radical philosophy, it is still the newspaper of top civic administrators, the judiciary and the legal profession. It has a strong liberal tradition on many social matters.
|
|
The Independent
Known as "The Indy" by readers, this is the youngest quality daily newspaper in the country. Generally left-of-centre, it has a liberal social-democratic radical approach and would support rather than oppose the current Blair government in an election.
|
|
The Daily Mail
This quality newspaper, tabloid in format, has successfully avoided the "popular" image of the "Red Tops", as tabloids are sometimes referred to in Britain. Conservative in outlook and a staunch supporter of the Monarchy, this paper was one of the first in the country to accommodate women readers with a separate section devoted to them.
|
|
The Daily Mirror
This is one of several tabloid newspapers available in Britain. It has a long history of support for "working-class" readers and was the newspaper of the Labour movement for many years. Whilst changing times and competition from other tabloids, notably The Sun, has had a major influence, it is still generally left-of-centre in outlook.
