THE Sunday Post newspaper is to celebrate its 100th birthday this weekend, with a Special Souvenir issue on Sunday.
Says publishers, DC Thomson, here: “The 96-page centenary magazine tells the extraordinary history of the newspaper and features news, campaigns and fun from the last 100 years. It will include iconic front pages and pictures, fascinating stories from The Sunday Post’s archives and heart-warming tales from every decade.”
Meanwhile, a week on Sunday, the paper is launching a new magazine supplement.
Says an announcement about the new title, In10: “The 48-page lifestyle magazine has been created around the idea of top 10s. Reflecting the busy lives of its readers, In10 is full of ideas for ‘living the life you love’. The magazine will feature an Entertainment and What’s On section, Food, Homes and Gardens, Travel, Days Out, Celebrity, Shopping and TV. It will also be the new home for The Sunday Post’s man in Hollywood, showbiz guru Ross King.”
