It is positioned as a quality newspaper, offering detailed news and analysis alongside business, sport, culture, lifestyle features and puzzles. This positioning distinguishes it from the Daily Mirror’s more popular, tabloid approach. It does not mean that every Times story is serious, or that a quality newspaper has no political viewpoint.
