Reach PLC is a UK-based media company that owns and publishes newspapers, websites, and other news brands. Its titles include national, regional, and local outlets, so it reaches readers who want general news, local coverage, sport, entertainment, and business updates in print and online.

The company makes money mainly from advertising, digital subscriptions and membership products where offered, and sales of newspapers and related content. Its main customers are advertisers who want to reach large audiences, plus readers who pay for print copies or access to premium digital content.

What makes Reach different is its role as a mass-market publisher with deep local reach. It does not manufacture products or run a utility-style business; it sells attention, news content, and audience access across many brands, using its editorial teams and distribution channels to connect advertisers with readers at both national and local levels.
