Express is a free daily newspaper distributed in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. It is in a tabloid format and is printed every weekday and distributed at Washington Metro stations and other locations throughout the Washington metropolitan area. It is owned and printed by The Washington Post Company, but few of the hard news stories are written by Washington Post staff. Many stories and pictures come from the Associated Press, the Christian Science Monitor, Getty Images and other wire sources. The features and entertainment part of the paper uses a number of reporters and boasts its own Web site, "Express Night Out". The newspaper is financed solely by advertising. Express debuted August 5, 2003.
The paper launched a redesign on November 30, 2009 which emphasized a more magazine-style front page, along with a daily cover story. In August 2010, the paper launched a mobile app, DC Rider, which is available for iOS (iPhone and iPod touch) and Android devices.
