Newspapers
1. Fleet Street in London is the home of most national daily and Sunday newspapers. People often say "Fleet Street” to mean "the press".
2. British newspapers can be divided into two groups: quality and popular. Quality newspapers are more serious and cover home and foreign news while popular newspapers like shocking, personal stories. These two groups of papers can be distinguished easily because the quality newspapers are twice the size of the popular newspapers.
3. The quality daily papers are "The Times", the "Guardian", the "Daily Telegraph" and "The Financial Times". "The Times", founded in 1785 is considered to be the most authoritative newspaper voice in the country and is said to be the paper of the Establishment The "Guardian" appeals to well-educated readers interested in intellectual and social affairs. The "Daily Telegraph!" is bought by educated uppermiddle and middle-class readers. "The Financial Times", printed on pink paper, is read by businessmen.
4. The "popular" press consists of the "Daily Mail", the "Daily Express", the "Daily Star" and the "Daily Mirror". In all newspapers there is a desperate fight to maintain or improve their circulations but it is worst among the "popular" papers whose main weapons are sex, scandal and sport.
5. Apart from London-based papers, there are many local newspapers. Most of these are evening papers (there is only one London evening paper) and many appear weekly.
