## About

The Morning Star covers Britain as the labour movement's own daily, the picket line and the union hall treated as the centre of national life. Descended from the Communist Party's Daily Worker, it aligns openly with a socialist programme, so a reader-owned co-operative doubles as the last openly communist paper in the country. Expect trade-union reporting, anti-NATO foreign coverage and a socialism stated plainly rather than implied.

## Profile

- **Ownership:** Owned by the People's Press Printing Society, a readers' co-operative; editorially aligned with the Communist Party of Britain
- **Funding:** Reader-owned co-operative sustained by sales, subscriptions, share capital and a reader donation fund
- **Focus areas:** Labour movement, trade unions, industrial disputes, socialism, peace and anti-war politics, workers' rights


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
