Preferred term

British newspapers  

Definition

  • Newspapers have always been a crucial component of British news media, informing the public sphere, articulating the public interest, and instigating and conducting significant debates on issues vital to democracy. Writers as diverse as Edmund Burke and Richard Carlyle have claimed newspapers as a fourth estate of the realm, a vigilant watchdog holding the powerful to account on behalf of the public.
