()LOGONewspapersintheUK英国报刊英国报刊发行与美国不尽相同，国内外财团控制的大报业集团的报纸占全英发行量的90%，这些大集团以往又都是集中在伦敦市中心的报业中心“舰队街”（FleetStreet）。因此，FleetStreet常用来借喻伦敦或英国“报界”或“新闻界”。现在为了改善发行和促进在海外销售，有的已移往伦敦其他地区或城市，甚至海外，如《卫报》就在德国发行国际版，而《金融时报》就直接在德国、美国和日本等国印刷发行。英国报纸按风格和内容分为quality/popular/mid-marketpapers,

“质量类”报纸是严肃性大开张（broadsheet）的全国性日报，有很高的编辑水平，读者对象是受过较高教育的上层和中产阶级人士。DailyExpress《每日快报》、DailyMail《每日邮报》、DailyMirror《每日镜报》、DailyStar《每日明星报》、TheSun《太阳报》都是“通俗类”小报，消息不如qualitypapers那样严肃可靠，往往追求轰动效应。如《太阳报》就以刊登英国王室成员和政界人士的桃色新闻和美女照片而“著称”。其发行量居首位。读者基本是工人阶级和中产阶级。“中间市场类”指介于这两者之间的报纸。LOGOQualityNewspapersintheUK(broadsheets)《泰晤士报》TheTimes
