About Us What is Daily Info? • How to Advertise • History • Contact Us •
History Daily Information was founded and run for 40 years by John Rose. You can read why, in his words, here. Here is a picture of the first one (A4), from 28th September 1964. You can click on the image to enlarge it. The latest printed sheet can be downloaded here, but you will probably find it quicker, now that you're here, to browse our website, which contains everything in the printed sheet and more.
In addition to the printed sheet, over the years Daily Information has published many series of Oxford guides, calendars, maps, What's On brochures and a book of cartoons about Oxford by our resident artist, the late Mary Potter. Our current publications include an A2 Year Planner (produced every September and distributed free - email us and we will send you one); the weekly Pin-Up (events listings for Oxford), an excellent Map of Oxford By Day & Night (email us for your free sample copy - further copies 20p each), and some online calendars. Any of these can be downloaded as pdfs by following the links above. We also distribute posters, for a modest fee, to our sheet display sites around Oxford. Click here to find out more. Current staff John Rose died in December 2004, but we are carrying on much in his spirit. We try to make our site and sheet as useful, entertaining and as free from hype as possible. We are always interested in comments and suggestions for improvement - let us know by email or contact us by other means. We tend to take on each other's roles indiscriminately, but nominal responsibility for specific parts of Daily Info is as follows: Director / Editor: Miranda Rose Company Secretary / Accounts Dept.: Susie Cogan Sub Editor: Su Jordan Cinema, Sheet, Pin-Up & Wellbeing: Ian Threadgill Reviews & Features: Jenny Pawsey Consultants: Julian Littlewood, Robin Hughes-Jones, Patrick Vale & Alastair Wilson

What People Say About Us Here is some recent feedback: " I wish all our suppliers were as nice to deal with as you are!" Richard Hillsdon, www.homeitsupport.biz, Jun 2009 An Ode to Daily Info (a poem composed and sent to us by kindly fan Stephen Bardle in April 2009) “Daily Info was the right choice for us when looking for a graduate to work with our small company. In just 2 days we received over 40 applications, most of which were of a very high standard, from both universities and beyond. The best thing of all was the speed within which we found the right candidate - she was already working with us less than 24 hours after we put the advert in!” Sam Hampton, ecoVeritas, Feb 2009 "We get great responses from your ads and you are always so nice to deal with." Fiona Pocock, Principal, Oxford Tutorial College "I just wanted to say I have been overwhelmed with responses to the job advert I placed yesterday ... the first email arrived even before your automated receipt! What's more, there have been some high calibre applicants and so even though I have yet to shortlist I can already see that it has been a very worthwhile exercise." Helen Toone, Electronic Enlightenment Project, University of Oxford "I am writing to thank you very much for your service, which continues to be fast, efficient and effective. I have used your webpage and broadsheet for many of my recruitment campaigns, as we are an Oxford-based business, and have always found it an excellent way of sourcing suitable candidates. For me this is proof that you are of great service to the people of Oxford and that many residents of the city, and non-residents alike, benefit from the information that you provide and keep up-to-date."

The website's user-friendly, the service has always been accurate, and, most importantly, I have had plenty of inquiries from all over the world and have always found excellent tenants fast. Oh, and it's cheap (but don't tell the guys at Daily Info I said that)." Rachel Griffiths Small ads: Kester Holmes "Thanks a lot for your help - you run a great system, and it is much appreciated. I am getting a lot of response from DI - thanks." Monica Franke - MCF Osteopathy Printed Sheet: Tony Godel – Proprietor, Burlington House "You do a fabulous job with your weekly emails and your site is a unique resource for all of us living and visiting Oxford!" Marianne Julebin, Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals Charitable Funds, Feb 2009 In General: " As is the norm these days, I use loads and loads of websites. Just want to say that your website is one of the very best in terms of clarity, user friendliness, and easy access to info. Thank you for such great work." Dr. Mohga M. Kamal-Yanni, May 2009 "This site is excellent. I've used it to find out about different clubs and societies as well as advertising a room to let. It's invaluable." Lucy Stephens, Oxfam GB Development Education Team Administrator "I'd like to congratulate you and thank you for writing such a brilliant website. It has helped me no end...the perfect mix of functionality, ability and localisation." JCD, musician "Can I just say what a brilliant institution Daily Info is? A real vade mecum!" Francis King, Administrator, St Michael at the North Gate (Oxford City Church) "This site is the most user friendly web site I've ever come across. It's so fluently
designed, it really doesn't feel like a website at all. More like talking to somebody knowledgeable who responds instantly
and effectively to your questions. It's quite eerie really, 'cos it's just so far from the normal frustrating 'finding
out stuff and trying to print it in coherent format' uphill struggle of most listings sites.
