From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Post is published between Monday and Saturday each week, with two editions being published per day: the morning edition and the "final" edition. It costs 33p, but it is generally 39p to have it delivered. The paper is owned by the Northcliffe Newspapers Group, part of the Daily Mail & General Trust, and is currently "Campaigning Newspaper of the Year", though many of its articles come under fire from left wing campaingers and activists.
The first edition of The Evening Post was printed by Thomas Forman on May 1st 1878. It was sold for ½d and was four pages long.
In March 1996 the Post was relaunched as a full-colour tabloid, although the Saturday edition had switched to the smaller paper size as far back as 1982.
