Metro

Metro is a British freesheet tabloid newspaper published by DMG Media. The newspaper is distributed from Monday to Friday mornings at public places such as bus stations, railway stations and shopping malls in selected areas of England, Wales and Scotland. Copies have also been handed out to pedestrians and are common on buses in dedicated storage boxes and train and metro stations in tall rectangular storage bins. In 2018, Metro overtook The Sun to become the most-circulated newspaper in the United Kingdom. Metro is owned by Daily Mail and General Trust plc, part of the same media group as the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday, but in some areas Metro operates as a franchise with a local newspaper publisher, rather than as a wholly-owned concern. Though a sister publication to the conservative Daily Mail, the newspaper has never endorsed any political party or candidate, and says it takes a neutral political stance in its reporting.
