The British newspaper industry became more financially aware, and less politically partisan during the twentieth century, and this increased towards the end of the millennium. As the government of the UK moved to the centre, there was a similar occurrence in the media, with a press that was historically partisan along political lines moving toward a more apolitical reporting.

The British Newspaper Industry Became Less Partisan

James Curran wrote that the character of the British press changed through the twentieth century, as the papers became more loosely connected to the political parties they traditionally supported. [1]

This decline in newspaper partisanship increased in the 1990s, as many Conservative papers grew disillusioned with the Conservative government under John Major. Colin Seymour-Ure wrote that for most of the twentieth century the Conservative press had been disproportionately strong, both in number of titles and size of circulation, but in 1997 there was a massive shift to support for the Labour party, and six papers turned away from the Conservatives.
