The Bigg Market is rarely mentioned in the National Papers but when it is they are not positive articles, The Daily Mail is the most common national paper which mentions and takes picture of the area. The Daily Mail has been writing articles which show the Bigg Market since 2008 and are usually to do with night outs and drunken behaviour.

These are the stories and images which people will associate with Newcastle and especially the ‘notorious’ Bigg Market. This is an image that needs to change if the Bigg Market is to become a place that is not just associated with the Daily Mail's drinking stories.
