A message from the Chairman
A message from the Chairman
“We have never confused scale with significance. A newspaper’s first obligation is to the reader who pays for it and the citizen who depends on it — and that obligation does not change because the delivery mechanism does.
Six decades on, the Group’s purpose is unchanged: to fund careful reporting, to protect the people who do it, and to hand this institution on in better condition than we found it.”
Our Brands
Three businesses, one standard.
Each brand is run independently and held to the same charter: report accurately, disclose promptly, and never let commercial interest reach the newsroom floor.
Montlior Media
Advertising representation across the Group’s owned inventory, with creative and production studios in Meridale and Valcourt.
Montlior Wire
Regulated disclosure and press release distribution to newsrooms, exchanges and terminals in nineteen countries.
