Oxford Mail is a daily tabloid newspaper in Oxford, England, owned by Newsquest. It is published six days a week. It is a sister paper to the weekly tabloid The Oxford Times.
History
The Oxford Mail was founded in 1928 as a successor to Jackson's Oxford Journal (1753 - 1928).[2][3]
Originally an evening newspaper, the Oxford Mail is now published in the morning and online. In 2017, the Oxford Mail won an Excellence Award and was crowned the best news brand in the country by parent company Newsquest out of almost 170 news brands.[4]
Over time, through the emergence of digitization and online news, audited print circulation gradually declined (from 23,402 in 2008 to 4,115 in 2023)[5][1] while the reading audience largely shifted to online.[4] In January 2024, online reach was 1.2 million.[6]
