History

The paper was launched in 1969 as Workers Press^[1] and renamed News Line in 1976.^[2][3]

For a time during the 1980s, the WRP split into two rival factions, and for a short time there were two versions of The News Line being produced every day, one by each faction.

Chris Hughton wrote a football column for the newspaper in the 1970s.^[4]
