History
The Oxford Mail was founded in 1928 as a successor to Jackson's Oxford Journal.
From 1961 until 1979 its editor was Mark Barrington-Ward.[2] At that time it was owned by the Westminster Press and was an evening newspaper.[2]
The Oxford Mail is now[when?] published in the morning. In the second half of 2008 its circulation fell to 23,402,[3] by 2013 it had fallen to 16,569, a year-on-year decline of 5.6%[1]
Censorship case
In 2014, a page on the Oxford Mail website[4] was removed from Google searches under the European Court of Justice "right to be forgotten" legislation.[5] Dr Robert Daniels-Dwyer, an archaeology specialist, objected to information on him concerning a 2006 shoplifting case.[6]
