Media group targets India for expansion

APN News & Media, the Australasian print and media group 45% owned by Independent News & Media, may target India in its next major expansion.

James Parkinson, chairman of APN, confirmed the possibility of such a move when APN issued first half results, that were boosted significantly from the inclusion of New Zealand publishing group Wilson & Horton results for the first time.

W&H became part of the APN stable last December in a move by IN&P to streamline its global operations.
