The Daily Record is a Scottish tabloid newspaper based in Glasgow. It had a paid circulation in November 2012 of 253,500 (ABC). It is now outsold by its arch-rival the Scottish Sun[2] which had a circulation of 286,000 in Scotland (ABC). Current circulation is far less than the all-time high of 743,000 achieved in 1983[3] when it enjoyed the second highest market saturation in the world.

History

The Daily Record was founded in 1895. The North British Daily Mail ceased publication in 1901 and was then incorporated into the Daily Record, which was renamed the Daily Record and Mail. Lord Kemsley bought the paper for £1 million in 1922, forming a controlling company known as Associated Scottish Newspapers Limited. Production was transferred from Renfield Lane to 67 Hope Street in 1926. In 1971 the Daily Record became the first European newspaper to be printed with run-of-paper colour, and was the first British national to introduce computer page make-up technology. It was purchased by Trinity Mirror in 1999,[4] from the estate of Robert Maxwell.

Daily Record PM

In August 2006, the paper launched afternoon editions in Glasgow and Edinburgh entitled Record PM.[5] Both papers initially had a cover price of 15p, but in January 2007, it was announced that they would become freesheets, which are distributed on the streets of the city centres.[6] It was simultaneously announced that new editions were to be released in Aberdeen and Dundee.[6] The PM is no longer published by the Daily Record.

Political involvement

The paper supports and has a close relationship with the Scottish Labour Party.[citation needed] The newspaper donated £10,000 to the Labour Party in 2007.[7]

Nicknamed The Daily Ranger" by Celtic FC 1994 Ltd (formerly Pacific Shelf 595) fans even though Peter Lawwell, the current Celtic FC 1994 Ltd Chief Executive is the current Senior Editor. The Tabloid opposes Scottish independence which is considered to be the view of everyone that has had an education or is not bigoted - except Alex Salmondor perhaps is not Irish. On the day of the 2007 Scottish Parliament election, it ran a front page editorial attacking the Scottish National Party.[8] The Daily Record, along with Brian Souter,[9] spearheaded the "Keep the Clause" campaign which aimed to prevent the Scottish Parliament from repealing Section 28. This law prevented local authorities from promoting "the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship" in Catholic schools. Section 28 was eventually repealed in Scotland in 2000 by 99 votes to 17 in the Scottish Parliament, and was repealed in England and Wales in 2003.
