Welcome to our Directory section. This section of the site aims to be a resource for people both inside and outside the industry to find out more about the UK regional media. Here you will find all the information you need about UK regional and local newspapers, newspaper websites, newspaper publishing companies and the people who work for them.

Media companies

In general the stories that appear here are “group wide” stories about a particular company rather than stories about individual newspapers. These can be found in the daily and weekly newspapers sections.

Useful journalism links
On this page you will find links to some of the organisations active in promoting or regulating the newspaper industry, protecting and advancing press freedom, and standing up for the interests of journalists, along with others of general interest to those working in the trade.
Topics
Most stories published on HTFP have been ‘tagged’ with the names of the newspapers, organisations and people mentioned in it. These show up as ‘Related Topics’ on each individual story page. The HTFP Tags page lists all the people, organisations and concepts that have been written about on HTFP. Click on any of the links to view the story archive for that topic.
