What was the first newspaper ever printed in the U.K.?
History of British newspapers
The Times was long the most influential prestige newspaper, although far from having the largest circulation. It gave far more attention to serious political and cultural news.[30] In 1922, John Jacob Astor (1886-1971), son of the 1st Viscount Astor (1849-1919), bought The Times from the Northcliffe estate. The paper advocated appeasement of Hitler's demands.  Its editor Geoffrey Dawson was closely allied with Prime Minister  Neville Chamberlain, and pushed hard for the Munich Agreement in 1938.  Candid news reports by Norman Ebbutt from Berlin that warned of warmongering were rewritten in London to support the appeasement policy.  In March 1939, however, it reversed course and called for urgent war preparations.[31][32]
