The News Letter is one of Northern Ireland's main daily newspapers,published Monday to Saturday. It is the oldest English language general daily newspaper still in publication,having first been printed in 1737. The newspaper's editorial stance and readership,while originally republican,is now strongly unionist. Its primary competitors are the Belfast Telegraph and the Irish News. The News Letter has changed hands several times since the mid-1990s,and since 2005 is owned by the Johnston Press holding company Johnston Publishing (NI). The full legal title of the newspaper is the Belfast News Letter,although the word Belfast does not appear on the masthead any more.
