The Times is a British daily national newspaper based
in London. It began in 1785 under the title The
Daily Universal Register and became The Times on 1 January 1788. The Times and its sister paper The Sunday Times (founded in 1821) are published by Times Newspapers, since 1981 a subsidiary of News UK, itself wholly owned by the News Corp group headed by Rupert Murdoch. The Times and The Sunday Times do not share editorial staff, were founded independently and have only had common ownership since 1967.

In 1959, historian of journalism Allan Nevins analyzed the
importance of The Times in shaping London's elite views of events:
For
much more than a century The Times has been an integral and important part of the political structure of Great Britain. Its news and its editorial comment have in general been carefully coordinated, and have at most times been handled with an earnest sense of responsibility. While the paper has admitted some trivia to its columns, its whole emphasis has been on important public affairs treated with an eye to the best interests of Britain. To guide this treatment, the editors have for long periods been in close touch with 10 Downing Street.

The Times is the first newspaper to have borne
that name, lending it to numerous other papers around
the world, including The Times of India (founded in 1838)
The Straits Times (1845),
The New York Times (1851),
The Irish Times (1859),
the Los Angeles Times (1881),
The Seattle Times (1891),
The Manila Times (1898),
The Daily Times (Malawi) (1900),
The Canberra Times (1926), and
The Times (Malta) (1935).
In these countries and others, the newspaper is often referred to as The London Times or The Times of London
