(We should probably mention something about the endless price/circulation wars. These have got quite vicious (particularly between the Times and the Telegraph) in recent years, with lots of sneaky tricks (eg putting free papers on trains) being employed to up circulation figures.)
(And of course, the rest of the world has newspapers too...)
Can someone point out which of the 4 major newspapers are right wing or left wing?
This article is way too UK-centric. You would think from this article that there were only six broadsheets in the entire world. Descriptions of the UK newspaper industry should probably be moved to a separate article. (In my collection, I believe I can come closer to 300, and that's just in the US.) 18.24.0.120 02:35, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Maybe the aricle is "way" to U.K-centric, but no more so than most articles we Americans write about things are U.S.-centric.
- I'll leave it to others to write the article on U.S. broadsheets -- somebody out there in the Wiki-verse must be far more knowledgable about it than myself. But I think that I can say which U.K. papers are which politically. The Times and the Telegraph are the right-wing entries in question, the Guardian and the Independent are the left-wing ones, unless things have changed very drastically very recently.

- I always thought The Times was fairly balanced, perhaps a tiny bit right-wing, but of all the newspapers the most unpredictable in its politics. --Taras 02:23, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)
The Times is assuredly not right-wing in the sense that the Washington Times is, and if I gave anyone that incorrect impression I certainly apologize.
