Tit-Bits from all the interesting Books and Newspapers of the World, more commonly known as Tit-Bits and later as Titbits, was a British weekly magazine founded by George Newnes, a founding figure in popular journalism, on 22 October 1881.
==History== In 1886, the magazine's headquarters moved from Manchester to London where it paved the way for popular journalism – most significantly, the Daily Mail was founded by Alfred Harmsworth, a contributor to Tit-Bits, and the Daily Express was launched by Arthur Pearson, who worked at Tit-Bits for five years after winning a competition to get a job on the magazine. The London offices were at 12 Burleigh Street, off the Strand.
