When was the ‘i’ first published? It was first published on the 26th of October 2010. The i is neither a tabloid or a broadsheet as it is a mix of the two. It has the layout of a tabloid however it provides the information of a tabloid. What is the cost for the i. In September 2016, the price was raised to 60p, with the weekday edition rising to 50p. The i was then named National Newspaper of the Year in 2015. At the start of September 2017, the price rose once again, to 60p for the weekday edition and 80p for the relaunched i weekend beginning later that month. Who is the i newspaper aimed at? It is aimed at “readers and lapsed readers” of all ages and commuters with limited time, and was originally launched in 2010 as a sister paper to The Independent. It was later acquired by Johnston Press in 2016 after The Independent shifted to a digital-only model. What is the profit for the i?
