National newspapers are a much stronger medium in Britain than in most Western countries.
They are supported by a network of paid-for regional newspapers, mainly evening and weekly titles, and a growing number of free distribution papers. There are 10 national daily papers selling a total of over 13.1 million copies a day. There are 9 national Sunday papers selling over 15.1 million copies each week. Every night around 1.6 million copies of the The Express are printed at our print centres in London and Manchester and sent throughout the UK by road, with a certain number being distributed overseas. Some of these copies remain unsold at the end of the day and are returned to us by the wholesalers and newsagents.
