General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

With the sun and the Daily Mail being so high this list is rather depressing.

It's probably way less depressing than the equivalent list from eighteen months ago.

Anyone else shocked that 19% of people in "senior jobs and leadership positions" read the Daily Star??!!

The amount of daily mail here is too high.

A more interesting statistic would be to ask how many people actually read a newspaper.

[–] ns1@feddit.uk 4 points 18 hours ago

41% of all adults and 60% of decision makers according to the article. But that includes online newspapers, and the number who actually named their favourite newspaper was far lower.

Surprised the economist isn’t on here

[–] br3d@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Probably classed as a magazine rather than a newspaper?

Evening Standard sounds really relaxing.
