for Jamaica. The morning broadsheet newspaper is presently published six days each week in Kingston. The Sunday paper edition is called the ''Sunday Gleaner''. The Sunday edition was first published in 1939, and it reaches twice as many readers as the daily paper. The influence, particularly historically, of the newspaper is so large that "Gleaner" has become synonymous in Jamaica for "newspaper". ''The Gleaner'' contains regular sub-sections and features the following: * ''Western Focus'' providing for the needs of the people living in the five western parishes; this special edition carries news, features, and advertisements from those parishes. * ''The Flair Magazine'' is designed to address topics of concern to women. * ''The Financial Gleaner'' is for the business and financial community. * ''Youthlink'' is a magazine addressing educational and other issues of concerns to the youth and highlighting their achievements. Overseas weekly editions of ''The Gleaner'' are published in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. ''The Weekly Gleaner'' in the United Kingdom carries news of interest to the West Indians in United Kingdom. The paper offers coverage of important issues and events in both the Caribbean and the United Kingdom. The current Editor-in-Chief of ''The Gleaner'' is Kaymar Jordan.
