The London paper is called The Evening Standard but doesn't seem to do the online thing. I never read it because it's a right wing rag. There's a filleted version called The Standard Lite or summat that's given away free at tube stations etc. Trying to compete with The Metro, a very popular freesheet that has a more tabloid feel.
The Independent is a popular rival for the Guardian's soft left market. Just not as good (I think).
The Telegraph is the quality paper of the foam-flecked reaches of the Tory Party. I have always been told that it has the least biased and most complete news coverage but I couldn't affirm that as I never read the thing because the very right wing op ed pieces are bad for my blood pressure.
The Daily Mail
The Daily Express
The Sun
and
The Star
are all right-wing tabloids. The latter two, I believe, feature young women whom nature has blessed in a state of undress. Apparently that encourages many men to buy them.
The other big tabloid is The Mirror, sort of soft left in its politics, traditionally at least. It was the only tabloid opposing the Iraq War and suffered for that in terms of sales, I hear. They have also lost their charismatic editor, Piers Morgan, since then.
There are lots more newspapers and magazines you might find of interest but those are the big ones, I think. |
