Trusted local news

Highland News & Media are passionate about local: local news, local entertainment, local sport, local politics, and, above all, making sure that the local communities we cover trust us to keep them informed, inspired, and entertained.

We’re a business and industry in transition. Some of our news brands have been around for more than two hundred years; you might know the Inverness Courier, or the Northern Scot. Printed newspapers are still important to us and some of our readers, but we recognise that the future for our business is digital. That’s where we are putting all of our energy and effort.

We’ve made a great start in our digital transition. Each month our websites generate millions of page views. Tens of thousands have become registered users, and thousands have signed up to be digital subscribers.

This gives us confidence that we’re on the right track, but we have an ambition to accelerate progress and ensure that our news brands continue to be our readers' first choice for trusted local news.
