Trinity Mirror
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trinity Mirror plc is a large United Kingdom newspaper and magazine publisher. It is Britain's biggest newspaper group, publishing 240 regional papers as well as the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror, People, Sunday Mail and Daily Record. Its headquarters are at Canary Wharf in London and as of October 2005 it employs around 11,000 people. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.
Trinity Mirror was formed in September 1999 by the merger of Trinity plc and Mirror Group plc. As a condition of the merger Trinity Mirror was forced to sell the Belfast Telegraph group, a holding of the former Trinty plc which was acquired from Thomson Regional Newspapers during previous acquisition activity.
The group has followed a programme of cost cutting in recent years at its newspapers in a bid to boost its share price*[1]. This has reduced the number of journalists employed. In October 2005 it hit the news for "cancelling Christmas" as its latest cost cutting measure.*[2]
Trinity Mirror's printing division, Mirror Colour Print (Oldham) Ltd, is located in Hollinwood, Greater Manchester, printing and distributing thirty-six major newspapers for the UK, including the Daily and Sunday Mirror, The People, the two Independent titles, Scottish Daily Record, and twenty titles for the Guardian Media Group.[1]
