''Mass Media in the UK: Newspapers''. There are several different types of media in the UK: television, radio, newspapers, magazines and websites. The quality press, including The Times , the Guardian (descendant of the Manchester Guardian ), the Daily Telegraph , the Independent , and the Financial Times , is published in a broadsheet format, while the middle market (including the Daily Mail and Daily Express ) and mass market (including the Daily Mirror and the Sun ) are published in tabloid format. A similar distinction exists on Sundays, with qualities ( Independent on Sunday , Observer Sunday Times , and Sunday Telegraph ), middle market ( Sunday Express and Mail on Sunday ), and mass market ( News of the World , People Mirror ).
