The Sunday Post is a weekly newspaper published in Dundee, Scotland by DC Thomson, and characterised by a mix of news, human interest stories and short features. The paper was founded in 1814 and has a wide circulation across Scotland, Northern Ireland, and parts of Northern England which may at some points in its history have reached three to five million readers.
The current editor is Donald Martin. He is assisted by Iain Harrison as Assistant Editor (News & Sport), Andy Clark as Assistant Editor (Production & Digital), and Dawn Donaghey as Head of Content.
In the 1950s, when the newspaper was confined largely to Scotland, sales of the Sunday Post were so high that it was recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as the newspaper with the highest per capita readership penetration of anywhere in the world.[citation needed] It has seen a slow decline, in 1999 having circulation of 700,000, dropping to 158,059 in November 2013.
