The Nation Multimedia Group announced Wednesday it will begin publishing a free English-language daily tabloid in 2008.

Xpress, Thailand's first free English-language daily, will target younger readers, and will begin publication in March, the group's chairman, Thanachai Threerapattanavong said in a statement.

The group also publishes The Nation, one of Thailand's two English-language dailies.

Xpresswill be distributed in mass transit stations, restaurants and other major public spaces, according to a Wednesday report by the Associated Press.

The newspaper will have four sections: The City, The World, The Sport and The Fun, according to the AP.
