BusinessLive publisher Reach plc has launched a business content partnership with City AM.
The two-year partnership will see City AM editorial content appear online across Reach plc titles including BusinessLive and Reach’s portfolio of national and regional titles. In print, content will be published in the Express, Manchester Evening News and the Liverpool Echo.
City AM was acquired by THG in 2023 and has seen growth after investing in its journalism across print, online and social media. The title, which is growing a national news desk in Manchester, says the partnership “forms a central part of City A.M.’s ambition to become a truly national business and finance publication.”
Reach plc is the biggest commercial publisher in Britain and Ireland, with titles including the Mirror, the Daily Record, Birmingham Live, Chronicle Live and Wales Online. City AM’s content will complement the work of Reach’s award-winning business team.
David Higgerson, chief digital publisher at Reach plc, said: “We’re looking forward to this partnership with City AM. Working together will give us the opportunity to strengthen our quality business journalism offering across our portfolio, and them the chance to get their content in front of our engaged audiences, both nationally and locally around our strong regional centres.”
BusinessLive editor Alistair Houghton added: “At BusinessLive we’ll be able to bring together City AM’s excellent national coverage with our own award-winning expertise covering business news in the regions and nations of the UK. We’re looking forward to working together.”
City A.M.’s chief operating officer Harry Owen said: “This partnership has provided us with 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.”
