The regional publisher has axed eight free print titles in the Midlands and folded a further three into paid-for titles in the North West and South. The company announced the closures in a statement to shareholders this morning in an update on its “cost reduction programme”. Johnston Press said the closures will “allow the group to focus resources on its digital offering in those and adjoining markets where the growth potential of digital is stronger”.
