The newspaper was founded in 1791 (one of the oldest still in print in the UK), and is aimed at educated professionals. Consequently, it's print circulation is relatively low (app. 450,000 nationally).

It is now owned by the Guardian Newspapers Group and is recognised as a quality journal in the UK. It's current editor is Rafael Behr, formerly of the BBC and the Financial Times.

I wouldn't turn my nose up it just because the site doesn't appear to be 'snazzy' - anyone can hire a good webdesigner - it's the content that matters, is it not?
