A newspaper published only on Sundays. Generally, daily newspapers in the UK and the US are published on weekdays, from Monday to Saturday, and the only way to read a newspaper on Sundays is to rely on a Sunday newspaper. After the Puritan Revolution in 1642, a law was passed in England prohibiting commercial activities on Sunday, which was the Sabbath, and especially during the reign of Charles II, fines were imposed on those who sold newspapers on Sundays. In this social background, the first Sunday newspaper was published by Elizabeth Johnson, who founded The British Gazette and Sunday Monitor in 1779. Following this, four Sunday newspapers, including the famous Observer, were published by 1791. In response, religious leaders tried to prevent the publication of Sunday newspapers, but they were unsuccessful because Sunday newspapers were widely accepted by British workers who wanted entertainment and news on their days off. The News of the World and the Sunday Mirror are representative popular Sunday newspapers in the UK, while quality papers include the Sunday Times, the Observer, and the Sunday Telegraph. In the US, unlike in the UK, daily newspapers often publish Sunday newspapers under different titles. There are no Sunday newspapers in Japan, but since the mid-1960s, as sales competition intensified, major newspapers have published Sunday editions (Sunday supplements) as an add-on.

日曜日だけに発行される新聞。一般に、イギリス、アメリカの日刊紙は月曜日から土曜日のウィークデーに発行されており、日曜日に新聞を読むには日曜新聞に頼る以外にない。1642年のピューリタン革命以降、イギリスでは安息日としての日曜日に商活動を行うことを禁止する法律が成立し、とくにチャールズ2世の時代には、日曜日に新聞を売る者に罰金を科した。こうした社会背景のなかで最初に日曜新聞を発行したのはエリザベス・ジョンソンで、1779年『ブリティッシュ・ガゼット・アンド・サンデー・モニター』The British Gazette and Sunday Monitorを創刊した。これに続き1791年までに、有名な『オブザーバー』を含め四紙の日曜新聞が発行された。これに対し、宗教関係者らは日曜新聞の発行を妨害しようとしたが、日曜新聞が、休日に娯楽やニュースを求めるイギリス労働者に広く受け入れられたため成功しなかった。『ニューズ・オブ・ザ・ワールド』『サンデー・ミラー』などがイギリスの代表的大衆日曜新聞で、高級紙としては『サンデー・タイムズ』『オブザーバー』『サンデー・テレグラフ』などがあげられる。アメリカではイギリスと異なり、日刊紙が題号を変えて日曜新聞を発行している場合が多い。 日本には日曜新聞はないが、1960年代なかばごろから販売競争の激化に伴い、有力紙が付録として日曜版(日曜付録Sunday supplement)を発行している。 [鈴木ケイ] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
