The Times is the oldest UK national newspaper in existence. Often referred to as ‘the paper of record’, it was first published as The Daily Universal Register on January 1, 1785. The Sunday Times followed on October 23, 1822 and has become renowned for the quality of its investigative journalism, design and editing, and for its coverage of British politics and the arts. The first issue of The Sun published in tabloid format and under the ownership of Rupert Murdoch was on November 17 1969. The Sun soon became the people's paper, sitting right at the heart of the national conversation.</p> </div> <br /> <div class="text-center"> <a href="https://www.news.co.uk/our-history/" target="" class="btn-rounded btn-rounded--white"><span class="szicon-play_arrow"></span>  Find out more about our history</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </main> <footer class="wrapper-footer "> <div class="grid-container"> <div class="grid-x grid-padding-x"> <div class="medium-4 text-center medium-text-left cell"> <p class="title">Main Switchboard</p> <ul class="no-bullet switch-list"> <li><a href="tel:02077826000" class="switchboard">020 7782 6000</a></li> <li><a href="/contact-us" class="btn-rounded"><span class="szicon-play_arrow"></span> Our Other Locations</a></li> </ul> <a href="" class="logo"> <img alt="News UK logo" src="https://www.news.co.uk/app/themes/nuk/assets/main/img/layout/logo-dark.png" /> </a> <p class="address">News UK & Ireland Ltd<br />1 London Bridge Street London SE1 9GF<br />United Kingdom</p> </div> <div class="medium-8 cell"> <div class="grid-x grid-padding-x"> <div class="medium-4 text-center medium-text-left cell"> <p class="title">Quick Links</p> <ul class="no-bullet"> <li> <a href="/about-news-uk" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom current-menu-item menu-item-1255 page-list__item--current"> About News UK </a> </li> <li> <a href="/our-brands" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1256"> Our Brands </a> </li> <li> <a href="/reach-our-audience" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1257"> Engage Our Audiences </a> </li> <li> <a href="/our-other-services" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1258"> Our Other Services </a> </li> <li> <a href="/more-than-the-news" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1259"> More Than The News </a> </li> <li> <a href="/careers" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1260"> Build Your Career </a> </li> <li> <a href="/latest-news" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1261"> Latest News </a> </li> <li> <a href="/contact-us" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1262"> Contact Us </a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="medium-4 text-center medium-text-left cell"> <p class="title">Company</p> <ul class="no-bullet"> <li> <a href="https://newsprivacy.co.uk/single/" target="_blank" class="sp-toggle-display menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1263"> Cookie Notice & Privacy Policy </a> </li> <li> <a href="/accessibility" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-14956"> Accessibility </a> </li> <li> <a href="/how-we-are-regulated" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1266"> How We Are Regulated </a> </li> <li> <a href="/editorial-complaints" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1267"> Editorial Complaints </a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.news.co.uk/app/uploads/2024/03/Final_Gender-and-Ethnicity-Pay-Results-as-of-5th-April-2023.pdf" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1269"> Gender Pay Report </a> </li> <li> <a href="https://newscorp.com/corporate-governance/modern-slavery-statement/" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1270"> Modern Slavery Policy </a> </li> <li> <a href="https://newscorp.com" target="_blank" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1271"> News Corp </a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.news.co.uk/website-usage-terms-and-conditions/" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-21293"> Website Usage Terms and Conditions </a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.news.co.uk/news-corp-alertline/" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-21299"> Whistleblowing </a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.news.co.uk/how-we-do-it/" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-21296"> Regulatory Compliance -
