Inside Cork sold to Galway interest

INSIDE Cork, the weekly freesheet newspaper, has been taken over by the publishers of the Galway Independent. It is understood that the paper changed hands for a six-figure sum yesterday morning.

The paper was owned by Ulster Television, which became the owner of the title when it bought Cork’s County Media group some years ago. Ulster Television said the paper was not core to its business as it focussed on its radio, television and internet assets.

Inside Cork is published every Thursday and has a circulation of around 20,000.
