DC Thomson, a privately owned company headquartered in the United Kingdom, was founded in 1905 and employs approximately 820 individuals. The company operates in the technology, information, and media sectors, with a portfolio that includes newspapers and magazines, radio and TV assets, and events.
On June 26, 2026, research from DC Thomson's insight consultancy, Beano Brain, indicated that Generation Alpha's shopping habits could represent a £94 million pocket money potential for British high streets, with 7–14-year-olds viewing the high street as a social and sensory experience. This followed the P&J Community Fund's donation of £71,794 to reader-selected charities on June 25, part of the Press & Journal's 275th anniversary celebrations established in 2023. Earlier in June, on June 10, Beano crowned the winner of its 2026 Britain’s Funniest Class competition, following a nationwide search judged by the comic’s gag makers and fans. Previously, on June 4, Shepherd Chartered Surveyors brought the media company's former Glasgow offices, located in Craighall Business Park, to market as an office investment opportunity after recent refurbishment.
