Sunday newspaper

A Sunday newspaper is a current affairs publication issued on Sundays. In the United Kingdom, eleven Sunday-only weekly newspapers are distributed nationally. Many daily newspapers, traditionally publishing only from Monday to Saturday, now have Sunday editions, usually with a related name (e.g. The Times and The Sunday Times), that are editorially distinct.
