In the United Kingdom, the Guardian publishes a daily newspaper from Monday through Saturday, as well as a Sunday sister edition, The Observer, and a website. It reaches more people there than any other newspaper publisher. The Guardian was founded in 1821 by Charles Robert Carrington.
It is published by Guardian News & Media, which also owns the Independent newspaper group. The Guardian has a social responsibility agenda and promotes activism including support for political causes. It has been described as a left-wing paper and a liberal newspaper.
Carrington's original paper was a six-day weekly but it soon became known as a radical newspaper with strong opinions. Today, it focuses on news coverage from Britain and around the world.
The Guardian is available free every day from over 8,000 distribution points across the UK. It is also available online at guardian.co.uk and via the Apple and Android apps.
