The Times' history

The Times was founded back in 1785 by editor and publisher John Walter I, the aim being "to record the principal occurrences of the times” for the service of the public.  It was actually calledl Daily Universal Register at first, and then it became The Times in 1788.  Today, it is very much reporting on the main occurences of our times, covering everything from World News to business, sport, law,  fashion, wellbeing , home and garden, the environment, society, politics, Scotland, the Register – and of course Letters to the Editor, Comment (always good to read).  

In the first edition, Walter explained that "like a well-covered table, it should contain something suited to every palate” including politics, foreign affairs, matters of trade, legal trials, advertisements and “amusements” and it still holds true to that today.
