The British are a nation of newspaper readers. Many of them have a daily paper delivered to their home
just in time for bieakfast.
British newspapers can be divided into two groups: quality and popular. Quality newspapers are more
serious and cover home and foreign news thoughtfully while the popular newspapers like shocking, personal
stories as well as some news. These two groups of newspapers can be distinguished easily because the
quality papers are twice the size of the popular newspapers.
• Quality daily newspapers:
The Times
The Guardian
