Oxford Mail is a daily tabloid newspaper in Oxford, England, owned by Newsquest. It is published six days a week. It is a sister paper to the weekly tabloid The Oxford Times .
The Oxford Mail was founded in 1928 by MP Frank Gray as a successor to Jackson's Oxford Journal (1753 - 1928), named after William Jackson, a former printer of the University of Oxford. [2] [3] [4]
Originally an evening newspaper, the Oxford Mail is now published in the morning and online. In 2017, the Oxford Mail won an Excellence Award and was crowned the best news brand in the country by parent company Newsquest out of almost 170 news brands. [5]
Over time, through the emergence of digitization and online news, audited print circulation gradually declined (from 23,402 in 2008 to 3,932 in 2024) [6] [1] while the reading audience largely shifted to online. [5] In January 2024, online reach was 1.2 million. [7]
A tabloid is a newspaper with a compact page size smaller than broadsheet. There is no standard size for this newspaper format.
Print circulation is the average number of copies of a publication. The number of copies of a non-periodical publication are usually called print run. Circulation is not always the same as copies sold, often called paid circulation, since some issues are distributed without cost to the reader. Readership figures are usually higher than circulation figures because of the assumption that a typical copy is read by more than one person.
