Johnston Press

Johnston Press was a UK-based media company specializing in regional and local newspapers, both in print and digital formats. Founded in 1767, it grew through acquiring numerous local newspapers, serving communities across the UK. The company focused on local journalism, providing news, advertising, and online content tailored to specific areas. In 2016, Johnston Press faced financial difficulties and sold parts of its business, eventually filing for insolvency in 2018. Its assets, including many regional titles, were acquired by new owners, and the company’s operations were integrated into other media groups, continuing to provide local journalism in the UK.
