 Its two editions had a circulation of 15,467 for the first half of 2010, with the Friday edition accounting for most of the figure.The paper was first published in Derry in 1903, but at the start of the Second World War, the paper's owners decided to move production across the border to Letterkenny, County Donegal, in an aim to avoid possible harsh censorship laws, which saw the paper's rival, the "Derry Journal", being banned for a short time on both sides of the border.The paper has always had a nationalist editorial policy and so was able to attract readers from both County Donegal and the mostly nationalist city of Derry.
