National World, a publicly owned company headquartered in the UK, was founded in 2019 and employs approximately 210 individuals. The company operates in the Technology, Information, and Media sector, focusing on the UK publishing and digital media sector. Its strategy involves consolidating audience reach, digital focus, and modernization within the sector, aiming to create a unified online platform for news content.

On June 26, 2026, Iconic Media Group, which owns 22 former National World newspapers among its three dozen titles in Northern Ireland, reported a £3.6 million loss for 2025, taking a £6.5 million hit from exceptional items. This follows National World's October 14, 2025, decision to withdraw over 200 of its publications from the Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) and rebrand as Iconic Media, with its titles subsequently listed as ‘no longer registered’ on ABC's website.
