The Bristol post

The Bristol Live website and Bristol Post daily newspaper cover Bristol and the wider Bristol, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset and North East Somerset area.

The Post was founded in 1932 amid local outrage that big national newspaper groups were trying to carve up the fast-growing evening newspaper market in Bristol.

Local journalists and business figures got together and the Bristol Evening Post was born.

It was the proud boast of the time that all the original directors had Bristol addresses.

The new paper was bright and breezy and the goodwill behind it fought off the better-resourced Bristol Evening World. The Post later absorbed its rival.

The Bristol Post won Daily Newspaper of the Year at the EDF Energy Awards for the South West region in 2015.
