List of newspapers in Scotland 3656139 221460224 2008-06-24T16:24:55Z Sardanaphalus 427947 updating link using [[Project:AutoWikiBrowser|AWB]] '''List of newspapers in Scotland''' is a list of [[newspaper]]s in [[Scotland]]. ==National newspapers== Traditionally newspapers could be divided into 'quality', serious-minded newspapers (usually referred to as 'broadsheets' due to their large size) and 'tabloids', or less serious newspapers. But these definitions no longer apply, as several 'quality' papers in Scotland have followed the lead of ''[[The Independent]]'', by adopting a tabloid format (which they prefer to refer to as 'compact' to avoid being associated with their more downmarket peers). In Scotland two broadsheet newspapers have made the switch to 'compact' format. ''[[The Scotsman]]'' did so in August 2004, and the ''[[Sunday Herald]]'' followed in November 2005. ===Scottish Quality papers=== ====Quality broadsheet format papers(Daily)==== *[[The Herald (Glasgow)|The Herald]] (est. 1783), owned by [[Newsquest]] (a [[Gannett]] company) *[[The Daily Telegraph]] (est. 1855), has a daily Scottish edition, owned by [[David and Frederick Barclay]] *[[The Courier|The Courier & Advertiser]] (est. 1801), owned by [[DC Thomson]] *[[Press and Journal (Scotland)|The Press and Journal]] (est. 1748), Weekday edition, owned by [[DC Thomson]] ====Quality broadsheet format papers(Sunday)==== *[[Scotland on Sunday]] (est. 1988), owned by [[Johnston Press]] *[[The Sunday Times (UK)|The Sunday Times Scotland]] (est. 1822), owned by [[Rupert Murdoch]]'s [[News Corporation]] *[[Sunday Telegraph]] (est. ), has a Scottish edition, owned by [[David and Frederick Barclay]] ====Quality compact format papers(Daily)==== *[[The Scotsman]] (est. 1817), owned by [[Johnston Press]], formerly a broadsheet, stablemate of [[Scotland on Sunday]] *[[The Times]] (est. 1785), has a daily Scottish edition, owned by [[Rupert Murdoch]]'s [[News Corporation]] *[[Press and Journal (Scotland)|The Press and Journal]] (est. 1748), Saturday edition only, owned by [[DC Thomson]] ====Quality compact format papers(Sunday)==== *[[Sunday Herald]] (est. 1999), owned by [[Newsquest]], the UK arm of Virginia-based [[Gannett]].
