The Scottish Daily News (SDN) was a left-of-centre daily newspaper published in Glasgow, Scotland, from May 5 to November 8, 1975. It was hailed as Britain's first worker-controlled, mass-circulation daily, formed as a workers' cooperative by 500 of the 1,846 [1] journalists, photographers, engineers, and print workers who were made redundant in April 1974 by Beaverbrook Newspapers when the Scottish Daily Express closed its operations in Scotland and moved to Manchester.
