Nottingham Evening Post

The "Nottingham Evening Post" is an English tabloid newspaper which serves Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and some parts of Derbyshire such as Long Eaton and Sandiacre. The Post is published between Monday and Saturday each week, with two editions being published per day: the morning edition and the "final" edition. It costs 33p, but it is generally 39p to have it delivered. The paper is owned by the Northcliffe Newspapers Group, part of the Daily Mail & General Trust, and was formerly "Campaigning Newspaper of the Year".

From time-to-time the newspaper includes special features which focus on a particular aspect of life in Nottingham. An example of this was the paper's "Muslims in Nottingham" series in April 2007. This consisted of a week-long series of interviews and articles in both the newspaper and on the "Evening Post" website. They focused on Nottingham's Muslim community, giving them the opportunity to express their views of life in the city.

The first edition of "The Evening Post" was printed by Thomas Forman on May 1 1878. It was sold for ½d and was four pages long.

In March 1996 the Post was relaunched as a full-colour tabloid, although the Saturday edition had switched to the smaller paper size as far back as 1982.

The Post was based at offices on Forman Street in the centre of Nottingham until 1998 when the paper relocated to Castle Wharf.

As well as the main newspaper, the Post also publishes a weekly sports paper on a Saturday throughout the football season, "The Football Post" which includes coverage of the three local Football League clubs, Nottingham Forest, Notts County and Mansfield Town, as well as coverage of local non-league football, cricket, ice hockey and rugby union. In addition to this, the Post also previously published "Forest Fever", a weekly newspaper-style magazine dedicated to Nottingham Forest Football Club. Its weekly in-depth look at events at The City Ground featured interviews with players, former players, management and supporters.

There is also a monthly "Bygones" paper, which publishes features and stories on the history of Nottingham.

The editor of the Evening Post, Graham Glen, retired in August 2006. Current editor is Malcolm Pheby.
