Johnston Press publishes Interim Management Statement

Commenting on the Interim Management Statement, Johnston Press’ CEO Ashley Highfield said: “I am pleased to report that our growth strategy is making good progress and has delivered encouraging results in the period. Digital revenue growth remains a priority and the Midlands reaching a “Tipping Point” in local display advertising is a highlight for the business. It remains a key goal for the whole Group to reach the point where digital growth will offset any further decline so we can return to overall top-line growth. With the refreshed print titles and websites, averaging monthly audiences of over 25m, and new digital products and services, we believe that Johnston Press remains as relevant to local communities and advertisers, both local and national as it has ever been. We also continue to focus on reducing our cost base whilst increasing our investment in our digital future.”
