Press and Journal (Scotland)

The Press and Journal is a daily regional newspaper serving the northern areas of Scotland including the cities of Aberdeen and Inverness. Established in 1748 as the Aberdeen Journal , it is Scotland s oldest daily newspaper.

The newspaper is occasionally criticised for its regional perspective on global events—an urban legend claims the RMS Titanic headline was North-East Man Dies At Sea — however the paper defends this stance, occasionally running proud to be local advertisements.

The paper, along with the Evening Express (Scotland) is published by Aberdeen Journals Ltd. It has a circulation of approximately 90,000 copies.
