The Times is published by News International, a subsidiary of the News Corporation group, headed by Rupert Murdoch. For much of its history, the newspaper was regarded as without rival, the 'newspaper of record' for Britain. It has played an influential role in politics and shaping public opinion about foreign events. Some claim that, more recently, it has reflected the conservative views of Mr. Murdoch,{{ref|murdoch}} despite showing support for the Labour Party in the two last elections.{{ref|labour}}

The Times is sometimes referred to by people outside the UK as the London Times or The Times of London in order to distinguish it from the many other Times papers such as The New York Times. However, it is the original "Times" newspaper. It is also the originator of the ubiquitous Times New Roman typeface, originally developed by Stanley Morison of The Times in collaboration with the Monotype Corporation.
