Historically in south Wales the Western Mail has always been associated with its original owners, the coal and iron industrialists. Often this led to the paper being regarded with a considerable degree of enmity, especially during the strikes in the coal industry of the twentieth century. This association between newspaper and its owner was so strong there is still a degree of distrust of the paper in south Wales.
On the other hand, and particularly following devolution, the newspaper has adopted a populist, localist, pro-Wales stance, mainly in trying to find a Welsh focus on any given world event.
The publication of a new all-Wales daily, The Welsh Globe and a new Welsh language 'Y Byd' newspaper will see the Western Mail face increased competition for the pan-Wales newspaper market.
