The Regionals division, comprising nine operating companies in six regions, publishes morning, evening and Sunday newspapers, plus a host of free and paid-for weekly titles.
These newspapers are strong, often market-leading brands which sit at the heart of the communities they serve. The portfolio includes three of the top 10 regional evening papers and three of the top 10 Sundays.
Advertising is the major revenue stream of the Regionals division. National advertising sales is driven through
Amra, the Group's advertising sales house for regional newspapers.
