The ''Nottingham Post'' (formerly the ''Nottingham Evening Post'') is an English tabloid newspaper which serves Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and parts of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire.〔(Publication Data )〕 The ''Post'' is published between Monday and Saturday each week, and costs 60p. The Post is also available via online subscription fo £59.99 per annum. It was formerly “Campaigning Newspaper of the Year”. From time to time the newspaper includes special features which focus on a particular aspect of life in Nottingham. An example of this was the paper’s ''Muslims in Nottingham'' series in April 2007. This consisted of a week-long series of interviews and articles in both the newspaper and on the ''Evening Post'' website. They focused on Nottingham’s Muslim community, giving them the opportunity to express their views of life in the city. The first edition of ''The Evening Post'' was printed by Thomas Forman on 1 May 1878. It was sold for ½d and was four pages long. In 1963, the ''Post''s main competitor, the ''Nottingham Evening News'', was closed and merged with the ''Post''. Also, the city’s two morning papers, the ''Nottingham Guardian'' and the ''Nottingham Journal'', were merged into ''The Guardian Journal'', which survived until 1973, when it was closed during a period of industrial turmoil in the company. During the protracted dispute, some ''Post'' journalists launched their own newspaper, receiving moral support from Brian Clough, then manager of Nottingham Forest. One of the ''Post''s stalwart journalists, Emrys Bryson, wrote a revue about Nottingham life called ‘Owd Yer Tight’, which ran at Nottingham Theatre Royal. D H Lawrence published his first short story in the ''Post''s sister paper, the ''Nottinghamshire Weekly Guardian''. Over the years, several ''Post'' journalists moved to Fleet Street. Among them were Robert Bolton of ''The Sun'', Robert Stephens of the ''Evening Standard'' and John Marquis of Reuters and Thomson Newspapers, who later went on to become an author and editor of the Bahamas’ best-selling daily, ''The Tribune''. Marquis was also voted Provincial Journalist of the Year in the 1974 National Press Awards (now British Press Awards) and was for many years London Sports Editor and Chief Boxing Correspondent of the Thomson newspaper empire, covering many Mumammad Ali fights. The late political sketchwriter Frank Johnson (''Daily Telegraph'' and ''The Spectator'') was briefly a ''Post'' journalist, while well-known pop music and sports writer Richard Williams trained on the ''Post'' in the early 1960s. Another ''Post'' reporter, BBC regional broadcaster John Barsby, became president of the National Union of Journalists. Among the ''Post''s more illustrious journalists of recent times was Duncan Hamilton, whose highly acclaimed book about Brian Clough (''Provided You Don't Kiss Me'') was described by TV commentator John Motson as “one of the best football books I’ve ever read.” After 20 years on the Post, Hamilton became deputy editor of the ''Yorkshire Post''. Well-known regional broadcaster Colin Slater was another ''Post'' stalwart, covering Notts County for many years. In March 1996 the ''Post'' was relaunched as a full-colour tabloid, although the Saturday edition had switched to the smaller paper size as far back as 1982. The ''Post'' was based at offices on Forman Street in the centre of Nottingham until 1998 when the paper relocated to Castle Wharf. It moved to Tollhouse Hill in the city centre in 2012. As well as the main newspaper, the ''Post'' also published a weekly sports paper on a Saturday throughout the football (soccer) season, ''The Football Post'' (no longer published) which included coverage of the two local Football League clubs, Nottingham Forest, and Notts County, as well as coverage of local non-league football, cricket, ice hockey and rugby union. In addition to this, the ''Post'' also previously published ''Forest Fever'', a weekly newspaper-style magazine dedicated to Nottingham Forest Football Club. Its weekly in-depth look at events at The City Ground featured interviews with players, former players, management and supporters. There is also a monthly ''Bygones'' paper, which publishes features and stories on the history of Nottingham. Current editor is Mike Sassi. One of its longest-serving editors in recent times was Barrie Williams, who served for 14 years before becoming editor of the ''Western Morning News'' in Plymouth. Following retirement, Williams wrote a book about his 40-year newspaper career (''Ink in My Blood'' ISBN 1-84683-039-7) and a biography of Tommy Lawton, the great England and Notts County centre-forward who fell on hard times in later life and was taken on as a Post columnist. The book is called ''Get in There'', a phrase Lawton often muttered as he headed the ball into the net. In April, 2011, it was shortlisted for a major sports book award. From October 2011 the printing of the Post moved from Derby to Birmingham.
