DC Thomson, a privately owned company headquartered in the UK, was founded in 1905 and operates with approximately 850 employees. It focuses on technology, information, and media, operating a portfolio of newspapers and magazines, radio and TV assets, and events.
On January 21, 2026, DC Thomson became a key sponsor and foundational partner of the National Year of Reading (NYR) 2026, a year-long initiative led by the National Literacy Trust and supported by the Department for Education to inspire reading for pleasure across the UK. Previously, on January 15, 2026, the company released a special selection of "Commando" comics from its archives, celebrating Cam Kennedy’s art, who began working for the title in 1968. On January 6, 2026, DC Thomson announced that subscriptions to its regional news titles, including the P&J, The Sunday Post, and The Courier, surpassed 50,000. This milestone followed the company's report from earlier the same day that its news stand and subscription sales remained flat in the year to March 2025, a period impacted by higher inflation and low consumer confidence. However, insurance and ad sales provided a boost during that fiscal year.
