First News

About

First News is a UK tabloid for young readers. It is published in a full colour tabloid format every Friday, and aims to present current events and politics in a child-friendly format, alongside news on entertainment, sport and computer games. The paper is aimed at seven to fourteen-year-olds, and regularly features written work from readers of that age. The paper's weekly circulation in 2017 was 79,362. First News was founded by Sarah and Steve Thomson and launched by editor Nicky Cox, with Piers Morgan as editorial director, in May 2006 at 11 Downing Street, the official residence of the UK's Chancellor of the Exchequer. The first issues were priced at £1, with 5 per cent of proceeds benefiting children's charities. From 2006, the paper was published by First News Ltd, an independently financed publishing house established in January 2006. In February 2018, First News Ltd was renamed First Group Enterprises.
