MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN BELFAST

Operating as the media center of Northern Ireland, the local press market is historically anchored by three major daily titles catering to distinct reader demographics. The morning sector includes the News Letter, which was founded in 1737 and stands as the oldest continuously published English-language daily in the world. It competes with the independently owned Irish News, a daily paper traditionally serving the nationalist community. Further complementing these is the Belfast Telegraph, a broadly circulated daily historically published as an evening paper. Paperboy lists 10 newspapers in Belfast.
