Corporate Information

History

The Standard has been in circulation since 21st May 1827 as London's paper and was launched as an evening title at 3.15pm on 11 June 1859, priced one penny.

By the mid 1870's the paper was selling 185,276 copies a day. By 1986 it was wholly owned by Associated Newspapers, who also publish the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday.

Today the title is edited by Veronica Wadley and it is widely regarded as the 'Voice of London'. Publishing three times a day, it is unique in the marketplace in bringing tomorrow's news today; ensuring London's metropolitan population has the most up to date news and comment with the highest quality features.

The portfolio was extended with the launch of ES Magazine in 1987, Hot Tickets and Homes & Property in September 1996 and Just the Job in September 1997. On September 19th 2002 MetroLife replaced Hot Tickets before closing in September 2005.
