Sunday Newspaper
A Sunday newspaper is a current affairs publication issued on Sundays. In the United Kingdom, eleven Sunday-only weekly newspapers are distributed nationally. Many daily newspapers, traditionally publishing only from Monday to Saturday, now have Sunday editions, usually with a related name (e.g. ''The Times'' and ''The Sunday Times''), that are editorially distinct. History The first Sunday paper was Elizabeth Johnson's ''British Gazette and Sunday Monitor'', which launched in 1779 and ceased publication on 22 September 1805. It contained a summary of the week's news and a religious column. ''The Observer'' was first published on 4 December 1791.

Roy Thomson, 1st Baron Thomson Of Fleet
Roy Herbert Thomson, 1st Baron Thomson of Fleet, (5 June 1894 – 4 August 1976) was a Canadian-born British newspaper proprietor who became one of the moguls of Fleet Street in London. He first came to prominence when he was selling radios in Ontario, and to give his customers more programmes to listen to, decided to launch his own radio station. He then moved into newspapers, becoming as wealthy and important in Canada as the press barons in the United Kingdom. He aspired to a peerage but was denied it unless he moved residence to the UK.

Mass Media In Edinburgh
Mass is an intrinsic property of a body. It was traditionally believed to be related to the quantity of matter in a body, until the discovery of the atom and particle physics. It was found that different atoms and different elementary particles, theoretically with the same amount of matter, have nonetheless different masses. Mass in modern physics has multiple definitions which are conceptually distinct, but physically equivalent. Mass can be experimentally defined as a measure of the body's inertia, meaning the resistance to acceleration (change of velocity) when a net force is applied. The object's mass also determines the strength of its gravitational attraction to other bodies. The SI base unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). In physics, mass is not the same as weight, even though mass is often determined by measuring the object's weight using a spring scale, rather than balance scale comparing it directly with known masses. An object on the Moon would weigh less than it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Newspapers In Scotland
This is a list of newspapers in Scotland. Daily 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. However, these definitions no longer apply, as several 'quality' papers in Scotland have followed the lead of ''The Independent'' by adopting a tabloid format (which some 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. In addition to newspapers published in Scotland, including Scottish editions of United Kingdom newspapers, a number of local newspapers published in other parts of the British Isles are widely available.
