The Press and Journal Newspaper Information

The Press and Journal, often called the P&J, is a daily regional newspaper serving the northern counties of Scotland including the cities of Aberdeen and Inverness. Established in 1747 as the Aberdeen Journal, it is Scotland's oldest daily newspaper. The Press and Journal was first published as a weekly title on 29 December 1747 and was known as The Aberdeen's Journal.

It was published on a weekly basis for 128 years until August 1876, when it became a daily newspaper. In November 1922, the paper was renamed The Aberdeen Press & Journal when its parent firm joined forces with the Free Press. It is printed 6 days a week and there are 6 geographic editions every day (7 prior to June 2011). From Monday 25 July 2011 the Monday edition of The Press & Journal changed to compact size from broadsheet. From Tuesday to Friday the newspaper is broadsheet size and on a Saturday it is compact size. Online, The Press & Journal serves various needs beyond news and sport, with pages dedicated to: ENERGY; YourJob; YourAds; YourHome; YourCar; YourDining; YourBreaks; and Family Announcements.
