Reynold's News was a Sunday newspaper in the United Kingdom,[4] founded as Reynolds's Weekly Newspaper[5] by George W. M. Reynolds in 1850,[6] who became its first editor. By 1870, the paper was selling more than 350,000 weekly copies. George died in 1879, and was succeeded as editor by his brother, Edward Reynolds.[7]
After Edward's death in 1894, the paper was bought by Henry Dalziel[7] and, in 1924, was retitled Reynold's Illustrated News.[5] In 1929, the paper was acquired by the Co-operative Press, linked to the Co-operative Party,[7] and, in 1936, its title was shortened to Reynold's News.
After the left-wing journalist H. N. Brailsford wrote a series of articles in Reynold's News critical of the Moscow show trials, the paper received hundreds of letters both supporting Brailsford and criticising him.[8] In 1944, it was retitled again, this time as Reynold's News and Sunday Citizen.[5] During the 1950s, it began to make a loss, and was relaunched in 1962 as a tabloid, the Sunday Citizen, but the final issue was published on 18 June 1967.[7]
In 1949, Terence Robertson joined the paper as News Editor. Robertson led a colourful private life and was involved in the fatal car crash that killed Vickie Martin, a protégée of Stephen Ward, in 1955. He later wrote several successful books before emigrating to Canada. He apparently committed suicide in 1970 while working on a book about the Bronfman family.
