Current affairs publication issued on a Sunday
A Sunday newspaper is a current affairs publication issued on Sundays. In the United Kingdom, eleven Sunday-only weekly newspapers are distributed nationally. Many daily newspapers, traditionally publishing only from Monday to Saturday, now have Sunday editions, usually with a related name (e.g. The Times and The Sunday Times), that are editorially distinct.
History
The first Sunday paper was Elizabeth Johnson's British Gazette and Sunday Monitor, which launched in 1779 and ceased publication on 22 September 1805. It contained a summary of the week's news and a religious column.
The Observer was first published on 4 December 1791.
By the 1930s, "almost everyone" in the British population read a newspaper on Sundays.
The Mail on Sunday launched in 1982. The Independent on Sunday launched in 1990.
