The Word is a cooperative tabloid newspaper publication in the United Kingdom. It is the first such publication of its kind.

Foundation
The Word newspaper was founded in response to a perceived media bias against centre-left politics and socialism. The stated aim of the organisation was to break up the stronghold of a select few wealthy families over the spread of information within the United Kingdom. The founding of the newspaper was run as the self-styled 'Peterloo Project', which began in September 2015. The project was launched and organised using social media platform Facebook. The aim was to create a popular and entertaining socialist hub with the involvement of as many people as possible from the socialist movement in Britain. As the project has proceeded it has become increasingly clear that the media in the UK is run for and by big business and as such will always need to oppose socialist values to keep their position.
