David Montgomery’s firm could take over Yorkshire Post and Scotsman owner JPI Media
Some of the UK’s best-known regional newspapers, including the Yorkshire Post and The Scotsman, could be sold to a new publicly listed business aiming to snap up struggling titles and consolidate the local newspaper market.
National World, set up by the newspaper entrepreneur David Montgomery, is in talks to potentially buy JPI Media, which owns dozens of major local papers in
Britain – including the Edinburgh Evening News, Lancashire Post, Sunderland Echo and the Sheffield Star.
