Y Cymro Newspaper Information

Y Cymro is a Welsh language newspaper, first published in 1932. Y Cymro was founded in Wrexham, and succeeded other newspapers of the same name that had existed during the 19th and early 20th century. It is the only national newspaper in the Welsh language, and is published weekly, on a Friday.

In 1945, John Roberts Williams became editor. His seventeen years in the post saw the paper increase its circulation and introduced a new, more "professional" journalistic style. ə In 2004 it was sold by North Wales Newspapers to entrepreneur Sir Ray Tindle. Prior to this, the publication day was Saturday. Current circulation is estimated at 4000.
