History
The Oxford Times was founded in 1862 as a weekly broadsheet.
In 1922, T.E. Lawrence (known as Lawrence of Arabia) commissioned The Oxford Times to typeset and print an advance private edition of Seven Pillars of Wisdom. This is known as the "1922 Edition" or the "Oxford Text" of Seven Pillars.
The Oxford Times has won a number of national awards including Regional Weekly Newspaper of the Year in 2004,[3] 2005,[4] and 2007.[5]
In March 2008 the paper changed to compact style. Until 24 October 2008 the paper was published each Friday.
The Oxford Times circulation fell from 26,262 in 2006.[6]
In 2011 Editor Derek Holmes left Newsquest after his post was made redundant. Oxford Mail editor Simon O'Neill added the responsibility to his role under a new job title of Group editor.[7]
