History

Established in 1801[2] as the Dundee Courier & Argus, the entire front page of The Courier used to contain classified advertisements – a traditional newspaper format for many years. In 1809 it was taken over by Robert Rintoul who used the paper to campaign for political reform, and criticism of local politicians such as Alexander Riddoch.[6]

In 1926, during the General Strike The Courier was merged with The Advertiser. From the 10 May[7] to 28 May 1926, the paper adopted the headline-news format of The Advertiser, before reverting to its previous format which it maintained until 1992.[3] The next major change to the newspaper came on 21 January 2012, when it changed to a compact format, having previously existed as a broadsheet. Editor Richard Neville said the move represented the "dawn of a new era" and that the company was "investing in new sections, increasing content across the title and investing significantly in resources."[8] Just over a year later, a digital version of the newspaper was launched.[9] In 2016, the year of its bicentenary, The Courier was named the UK Regional Newspaper of the Year.[10]

In 2022, The Courier was named Scotland's news website of the year at the Scottish Press Awards. [11]
