The Nottingham Post (formerly the Nottingham Evening Post) is an English tabloid newspaper which serves Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and parts of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire.
The Post is published between Monday and Saturday each week, and costs 70p. The Post is also available via online subscription for £59.99 per annum. It was formerly “Campaigning Newspaper of the Year”.
From time to time the newspaper includes special features which focus on a particular aspect of life in Nottingham. An example of this was the paper’s Muslims in Nottingham series in April 2007. This consisted of a week-long series of interviews and articles in both the newspaper and on the Evening Post website. They focused on Nottingham’s Muslim community, giving them the opportunity to express their views of life in the city.
The first edition of The Evening Post was printed by Thomas Forman on 1 May 1878. It was sold for ½d and was four pages long.
In 1963, the Post's main competitor, the Nottingham Evening News, was closed and merged with the Post. Also, the city’s two morning papers, the Nottingham Guardian and the Nottingham Journal, were merged into The Guardian Journal, which survived until 1973, when it was closed during a period of industrial turmoil in the company.
During the protracted dispute, some Post journalists launched their own newspaper, receiving moral support from Brian Clough, then manager of Nottingham Forest.
One of the Post's stalwart journalists, Emrys Bryson, wrote a revue about Nottingham life called ‘Owd Yer Tight’, which ran at Nottingham Theatre Royal. D H Lawrence published his first short story in the Post's sister paper, the Nottinghamshire Weekly Guardian.
