'''''The News Line''''' is a daily newspaper published by a British Trotskyist group, the Workers' Revolutionary Party.
==History== The paper was launched in 1969 as ''Workers Press''<ref>[http://www.marxists.org/archive/hallas/works/1985/12/cult.htm Duncan Hallas: Cult comes a cropper (1985)<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> and renamed ''News Line'' in 1976.<ref>[https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145398605 ''The News Line''] Entry in WorldCat</ref><ref>[http://www.cpgb.org.uk/worker/509/letters.html Weekly Worker 509 Thursday 18 December 2003<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
For a time during the 1980s, the WRP split into two rival factions, and for a short time there were two versions of ''The News Line'' being produced every day, one by each faction.
