(the) Times

(the) Times
a British national ↑daily newspaper, the oldest in England. It was first published (as the Daily Universal Register) in 1785 and was generally regarded as having a lot of influence on public opinion. Though politically independent, it is seen as representing the attitudes and opinions of the ↑Establishment, and many of its readers support the ↑Conservative Party. The newspaper went through a difficult period in the 1970s, when there were a number of industrial disputes involving ↑trade unions representing workers in the printing industry. A strike began in 1978 and the paper was not published for nearly a year. In 1981 Rupert Murdoch became the owner and in 1986 he moved the paper’s offices and printing works to a new building in ↑Wapping, east London. The Times is known for the extent of its news reporting, for its ↑editorials, in which the paper’s own views on issues in the news are given, for the letters from readers, for the announcements of births, deaths and marriages, and for its ↑crossword.
