The publisher of the Irish Times posted an operating profit of over €2.6m in 2018 before taking account of the almost €2m in takeover and other reorganisation costs following the acquisition last summer of the newspaper titles and broadcasting interests of the Irish Examiner group.

Landmark Media, publishers of the Irish Examiner and Evening Echo as well as several regional newspapers, has announced approximately 50 job losses across its operations.

Investment in new editorial production, advertising and finance systems at the publishing group Landmark Media Investments ("the Group"), which employs approximately 560 people, will facilitate the Group’s business re-engineering project through work practice changes and centralisation of services.
