The People, previously known as the Sunday People, is a British tabloid Sunday-only newspaper, owned by the Trinity Mirror Group. The paper was founded on 16 October 1881.[1]
It is a competitor to The News Of The World, although with a circulation slightly less than one million, The People lags somewhat behind its rival and its sister paper The Sunday Mirror. It usually features scandals about celebrities.
The newspaper was affected by cost-cutting during 2006; fourteen journalists were made redundant.
