The Union Jack was an American monthly newspaper featuring news from the United Kingdom and aimed at British expatriates. Published in La Mesa, California,[1] it was established in 1982 and closed in 2016.
The Union Jack was the only nationally distributed newspaper for British expatriates in the United States.[2] It was founded in 1982 by Ron Choularton, who had been a production executive at The Guardian, and his brother Jeff, who both moved to the United States in the late 1970s.[3][4] Ron Choularton was the editor.[5][6] The paper relied on display advertising rather than classifieds. A Canadian edition was launched under licence in Vancouver and Toronto in 2012; circulation was then 300,000 a month.[3]
It ceased publication after the July 2016 issue.[2]
