until 1959) is a liberal newspaper that focuses on such important social issues
as education, medical reforms, the problems of the elderly, protection of the
environment, etc. It is published from Monday to Saturday in London and
Manchester. The Guardian Weekly, which circulates worldwide, provides a compact

weekly music newspaper. It was founded in 1926 as a magazine for musicians; in
2000, it was united with its «long-standing rival» New Musical Express.
