South Wales Evening Post
The South Wales Evening Post is a tabloid daily newspaper distributed in the South West region of Wales. The paper has three daily editions – Swansea; Neath and Port Talbot; and Carmarthenshire[2] – and is published by Media Wales, part of the Reach plc group.[2] The current editor is Jonathan Roberts.[3] As the name suggests, it had previously been an evening paper, but later became a morning daily. HistoryFounded in 1893 as the South Wales Daily Post, the paper changed its name in 1932 to the current title.[4] Former journalists included poet Dylan Thomas, who joined from school in 1930 but left 18 months later to become freelance.[5] In August 2006, according to the ABC figures, the South Wales Evening Post overtook the Cardiff-based South Wales Echo as the biggest-selling evening newspaper in Wales.[6] Presently the Post is published six days a week by Media Wales, which also publishes the Carmarthen Journal, Neath Port Talbot Courier, and Llanelli Star.[2] The Evening Post produces a range of special features and supplements on entertainment, TV, motoring, property, employment and sport.[7] In 2012, Local World acquired owner Northcliffe Media from Daily Mail and General Trust.[8] In 2013 the paper gained national attention during the 2013 Swansea measles epidemic as it had previously led a campaign against the vaccine after misunderstanding Andrew Wakefield's research.[9] See alsoReferences
