Everything about Manchester Evening News totally explained
The
Manchester Evening News (also known as
MEN) is an
English daily
newspaper published each week day evening and on Saturdays. It is distributed throughout
Greater Manchester. It sells around 115,000 copies per day, and is read by approximately 400,000 people.
The paper was first published in 1868 by
Mitchell Henry as part of his Parliamentary election campaign. Shortly after the election the newspaper was sold to
John Edward Taylor, the son of the founder and owner of the
Manchester Guardian (now
The Guardian). Taylor brought his brother-in-law Peter Allen in as a partner in the
Evening News; after Taylor's death in 1907 the
Guardian was sold to its editor
C. P. Scott while the
Evening News passed into the hands of the Allen family. Scott's
Guardian bought the
Evening News in the 1920s. From that time the two newspapers have always had a common owner – it's currently one of 62 newspapers owned by the
Guardian Media Group.
Despite its "evening" title, the newspaper began publication of a morning edition in November 2004, a controversial move which brought union members to the brink of strike action over new work rotas.
In March 2005 the paper launched a cut down evening version of the paper titled
MEN Lite which was distributed free to commuters within Manchester city centre. Due to low city centre sales of the 35p Evening News, the
MEN Lite brand was dropped on May 2nd 2006 and was replaced with a free version of the
Manchester Evening News bearing the
City Edition badge.
Even though the
MEN is given away free in the city centre, the newspaper still retails for 40p in the suburban shops and supermarkets. In December 2006, the paper also began free distribution at
Manchester Airport and hospitals throughout Greater Manchester.
