The Times

The Times and The Sunday Times were first held under common ownership by Lord Thomson in 1966 as Times Newspapers Limited (TNL) and were bought by Rupert Murdoch in 1981. TNL, which is governed by a board of independent directors and a set of legal undertakings that protect the newspapers’ editorial independence, is now part of News UK. Both papers introduced digital subscriptions in 2010 to help ensure a sustainable future for their journalism.

In 2019 The Times and The Sunday Times won the Daily and Sunday newspaper of the year categories at the British Press Awards among several other prizes for their writing, reporting, investigations and campaigns. Both papers are committed to driving digital innovation in all areas of their world-class journalism.
