Nottingham Evening Post

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nottingham Evening Post is an English tabloid newspaper which serves Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and some parts of Derbyshire such as Long Eaton and Sandiacre. The Post is published between Monday and Saturday each week, with two editions being published per day: the morning edition and the "final" edition. It costs 33p, but it is generally 39p to have it delivered. The paper is owned by the Northcliffe Newspapers Group, part of the Daily Mail & General Trust, and is currently "Campaigning Newspaper of the Year", though many of its articles come under fire from left wing campaigners and activists.

The first edition of The Evening Post was printed by Thomas Forman on May 1, 1878. It was sold for ½d and was four pages long.

In March 1996 the Post was relaunched as a full-colour tabloid, although the Saturday edition had switched to the smaller paper size as far back as 1982.

The Post was based at offices on Forman Street in the centre of Nottingham until 1998 when the paper relocated to Castle Wharf.

As well as the main newspaper, the Post also publish a weekly sports paper on a Saturday throughout the football season, The Football Post which includes coverage of the three local Football League clubs, Nottingham Forest, Notts County and Mansfield Town, as well as coverage of local non-league football, cricket, ice hockey and rugby union.

There is also a monthly Bygones paper, which publishes features and stories on the history of Nottingham.

The current editor of the Evening Post, Graham Glen, announced his retirement in August 2006.
