The oldest and most famous quality newspaper is The Times, but the best selling ones nowadays, are The Telegraph and The Guardian. Finally, there is The Financial Times, a pink business newspaper which is now the most important international business newspaper. The two types of newspapers are an interesting part of British culture. The "quality" papers are large and inconvenient to read. For many years, people have been wondering why they refuse to change their size. However, many other people like the size of the "quality" papers because it shows that they are not reading a tabloid, and are therefore reading a serious paper. Recently things seem to be changing. The first quality paper that started producing a tabloid format was The Independent, and puite soon after that, The Times produced a tabloid version too. Feedback on such changes is varied. For some people, this is not popular because they want their serious paper to look like a serious paper. For others, it is good to have a newspaper that is interesting, intelligent and also convenient to read.
