London-based business daily City A.M. has announced a two-year partnership with publisher Reach which will see the paper’s financial news content published across Reach’s physical and digital titles.
Under the collaboration, City A.M.’s editorial content will be featured online across titles including Businesslive, the Live Network sites and the Express. In print, editorial content will be published in the Express, Manchester Evening News and Liverpool Echo.
Chief operating officer at City A.M., Harry Owen, said the partnership provides “an incredible opportunity to combine resources and provide readers with best-in-class journalism that tackles both local and national issues under one roof.
“As a market-leader, Reach is renowned for its regional coverage. The combination of this footprint, THG’s studio capabilities and City A.M.‘s deep understanding of UK business is compelling,” he added.
It comes as City A.M. has rapidly expanded through investments in its print, online and digital journalism since its acquisition by THG a year ago. Since the takeover it has added a national news desk in Manchester, introduced an app and relaunched its magazine.
David Higgerson, chief digital publisher at Reach, said the partnership will strengthen the London-listed media group’s quality business journalism offering.
He added that it will give City A.M. the chance to “get their content in front of our engaged audiences, both nationally and locally around our strong regional centres.”
