About Mecom

Mecom’s strategy is to use the scale of the Group and its very large readership base to create a modern content and consumer business which is no longer solely dependent on printed products.

Mecom is changing the Group into a modern multi-platform content and consumer business in order to maximise the collection and delivery of high-quality relevant content, new revenue opportunities, efficiencies and savings across the Group.

In addition to generating revenues through new content platforms, Mecom is also developing new revenues through standalone digital businesses, as well as the sale of branded goods and services targeted to appeal to our readers (Enterprises).

Mecom is committed to building value for its owners, communities and employees. Mecom creates commercial opportunities without compromising editorial freedom. By maximising the value of its content Mecom seeks to protect its newspaper titles whose continued existence is the greatest protector of quality journalism and editorial independence.

Mecom stands for and protects quality journalism, editorial freedom and independence, with publishing principles which ensure that no government, owner, advertiser or any other interest group are entitled to interfere in editorial decisions.

Mecom is close to all its communities with its heritage, trusted brands, local culture and focus on the needs and interests of its audiences. Mecom recognises its employees as its greatest asset and is working with them to grow the business.
