NEWS INTERNATIONAL

(Redirected from News Group Newspapers)

'News International Ltd' is a British newspaper publisher owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. Until June 2002, they were called 'News International plc'.The Times Online Style Guide – see entry for News International for change from plc to Ltd
The company's major titles are published by three subsidiary companies, 'Times Newspapers Ltd', 'News Group Newspapers' and 'NI Free Newspapers Limited'. These newspapers are published at a large site in Wapping in east London, near Tower Hill, which earned the nickname "Fortress Wapping" after a fierce dispute with the union to which the workforce had previously belonged.
Between 1987 and 1995, News International owned, through its subsidiary ''News (UK) Ltd'', ''Today'', the first UK national newspaper to be printed in colour. All of News International's newspapers (with the exception of thelondonpaper, launched in 2006) were founded by other owners, in some cases hundreds of years ago.
In October 2005 News International sold TSL Education, publishers of ''Times Educational Supplement'' and other education titles, for £235m ($415m). ''The Times Literary Supplement'', previously part of TSL Education, has been retained by News International as part of this deal. Darwin ltd, who had took over the company, continued to produce the same product.
