Media

Belfast is the home of The News Letter (historically known as "The tuppenny liar"). The oldest weekly newspaper in the world still in publication, it is broadly unionist in outlook. Other main newspapers include nationalist-leaning The Irish News (historically known as "the penny liar"), and the evening newspaper Belfast Telegraph. More recently, the Daily Ireland newspaper, which is supportive of Sinn Féin, was launched in 2004, while there is also an Irish language weekly newspaper called Lá (or "day"). The current affairs magazine Fortnight (published, ironically, on a monthly basis) offers commentary from a left of centre but non-party-political stance.
