Morning Advertiser
Morning Advertiser is an online pub trade news publication in the UK. It is one of the oldest news publications in the world, beginning as a newspaper in 1794 and being published in hard copy until 2020. In 2011, William Reed Ltd, bought The Publican from United Business Media and merged the two titles to form The Publican's Morning Advertiser,[1] a printed magazine with a news website. The merger returned its original name to the Morning Advertiser in July 2016. As of April 2020, the printed magazine has been suspended and all content has been published on the website www.morningadvertiser.co.uk, which attracts 143,371 unique users per month.[2] HistoryThe Morning Advertiser was first published in 1794 by the London Society of Licensed Victuallers.[3] It was devoted to trade interests, rather than to the support of a political party. Its circulation, however, fostered by the society, was, in the middle of the 19th century, second only to that of The Times. Charles Dickens was an early contributor and journalist, broadcaster and Labour Party communication director Alastair Campbell worked as a reporter on the paper early in his career. Founded in 1794 as The Publican's Morning Advertiser,[4] it was the UK's oldest continuously produced paper. In 1858 the paper became the first newspaper to subscribe to Reuters' news service.[5] Editors
