Johnston Press publishes Interim Management Statement

Commenting on the Interim Management Statement, Johnston Press' CEO Ashley Highfield (pictured)said: "For the first time in almost 7 years we are in a position to report a year-on-year increase in operating profit for the period. While the economic environment continued to be challenging, the implementation of our strategy progressed further with the successful completion of the relaunch of the vast majority of our titles, together with the further development of our digital business and the rollout of new hardware and software to all sales staff and journalists. With our reduced cost base and our continued focus on debt reduction, we remain on track to deliver a strong performance in 2013."
