Trinity Mirror sells Southern titles to Northcliffe

LONDON - Trinity Mirror has announced the sale of Kent Regional Newspapers, East Surrey and Sussex Newspapers and Blackmore Vale Publishing to Northcliffe Media, for £64.15million in cash.

Trinity Mirror expects further sales of assets, including its sports titles and other regional titles, in the third quarter of this year.

Northcliffe is the local media division of the Daily Mail & General Trust plc.

Analyst Bridgewell said the move was "something of an about face" for DMGT, as it had planned to so sell its own regional newspaper division early last year.
