London Newspapers: Location of Newspapers. In the late 1960's there were in london newspapers 9 morning, 2 evening, and 7 national Sunday papers (a unique institution). Outside london newspapers there were 18 morning' and 73 evening provincial papers, not including the 4 dailies, 40 weeklies, and 2 semiweeklies in Northern Ireland. (No Sunday newspapers are published there.)

Weekly circulation was more than 12 million.
Unlike New York, for example, it is the seat of government; unlike Moscow, it is a great port. It houses both a royal court and universities along with one of the greatest art galleries and one of the greatest museums in the world, which includes one of the greatest libraries. The daily newspapers with their multi-million circulations, which are read all over Britain, are edited in london newspapers. london newspapers is the place, therefore, where important people of all kinds meet to discuss important matters.
