The Examiner was a daily British newspaper. The logo of the paper was the silhouette of a unicorn. Also available was the Cardiff Examiner, which featured stories local to the Cardiff area.
John Smith was given a copy of The Examiner by Martha Jones to show him that the date was Monday November 10th 1913. This edition featured an article on health and nutrition. (TV: Human Nature [+]Loading...["Human Nature (TV story)"])
In 1926, the Tenth Doctor took a copy of The Examiner from Hugh Curbishley in order to check the date. He discovered it was the same date on which Agatha Christie was to disappear. (TV: The Unicorn and the Wasp [+]Loading...["The Unicorn and the Wasp (TV story)"])
In 2007, the paper's reporter Atif told his editor that he had a story so big, he thought it would be the story of the century: the story of Torchwood. She asked him to get the story for her, and so the reporter passed secret envelopes and looked through files and photos, several of which featured the Doctor. Atif was sure that Torchwood went back as far as Queen Victoria, right up to the explosion on Christmas Day and was connected with the ghosts that had recently appeared.
He then returned to his editor with his findings, only to be told that there had been "complications", and was dragged off by several mysterious men. Meanwhile, another man talked to the editor, and said that Torchwood thanked her for her cooperation, before leaving her with a replacement front page story about GCSE results. (WC: Tardisode 12 [+]Loading...["Tardisode 12"])
In the 2000s[nb 1] the paper was priced at 50p per copy. At least two copies appeared on a police evidence board in Cardiff. One had the headline "GRAN STABBED IN FRONT OF TELLY". (TV: Everything Changes [+]Loading...["Everything Changes (TV story)"])
