Tiny, Tinier, Tiniest - The Smallest Newspaper

Today we are again going to search for the 'Tiniest' in Mass Media (remember the earlier post on the Tiniest Book). Today, we will see about the Newspaper which holds the Guinness World Record for the Smallest Newspaper in the World.

The Smallest Newspaper in the World is the First News Children's Newspaper (photograph on the Right) which was published in West Horsley, Surrey UK on the November 8, 2007 in celebration of Guinness World Records Day.This smallest newspaper measures a minute 32 x 22 mm (1.25 x 0.86 in). First News is a weekly newspaper aimed at 7-14 year olds. It is in tabloid format, and aims to present current events in a child-friendly format, alongside news on entertainment, sport and computer games. The Smallest Newspaper was just a special edition aimed at setting the World Record on the Guinness World Records Day and the size of the regular weekly paper is normal.
