Bristol Respect and NUJ protest as Bristol Evening Post sacks 20 journalists for their 80th birthday and imaginatively changes name to âThe Postâ. One of the first untruths you will read when you open a copy of The new Post is âThe Paper All Bristol Called For And Helped To Createâ â because the opposite is the case. âThe Postâ paper we see in Bristol today is owned by Northcliffe which is part of Lord Rothermereâs Daily Mail empire. The Bristol Evening Post was set up in 1932 by public subscription in an appeal led by the Bishop of Malmesbury. It was formed as an independent Bristol owned paper precisely to compete with the Northcliffe paper of its day, The Evening World, which it eventually out-sold. Shares in the original 1932 Bristol Evening Post were gradually bought up by Lord Rothermereâs son in the 1970s and by the 1980s he began to demand places on the board and took the Bristol Evening Post back under Rothermere control. But that was only after one of the Bristol owners and Managing Director, Walter Hawkins had died. Walterâs wife Joan Hawkins is still alive and lives at Alveston in Gloucestershire. She explains how the character of the paper has changed since shares are bought up and it was re-taken over in the 1980s by Rothermereâs Northcliffe newspapers. £730m personal fortune Lord Rothermereâs Daily Mail supported the Nazis in the 1930s, along with many of Britainâs German royalty such as Edward VIII.
