The Times is a British daily national newspaper based in London. It began in 1785 under the title The Daily Universal Register, adopting its modern name on 1 January 1788. The Times and its sister paper, The Sunday Times (founded in 1821), are published by Times Media, since 1981 a subsidiary of News UK, in turn wholly owned by News Corp. The Times and The Sunday Times were founded independently and have had common ownership since 1966. It is considered a newspaper of record in the UK.
The Times was the first newspaper to bear that name, inspiring numerous other papers around the world. In countries where these other titles are popular, it has been referred to as The London Times or The Times of London, although the newspaper is of national scope and distribution.
