National World chairman David Montgomery has said its 9% revenue growth in 2024 was “propelled” by video advertising as well as acquisitions.

Revenue at the publisher of the Yorkshire Post, The Scotsman and a roster of other regional newspapers, city websites and National World website grew to £96m in the year to 28 December 2024.

Print continues to make up 72% of revenue while digital is 20% (other revenue streams include events and BBC local democracy reporter deals for 34 journalists).
