National World, a publicly owned entity headquartered in the United Kingdom, operates in the media and telecommunications sector. Founded in 2019, the company employs approximately 210 individuals and reported $122.7M in revenue as of 2024. The company focuses on consolidating audience reach, digital focus, and modernization within the UK publishing and digital media sector, aiming to establish an online platform for reliable news content. It comprises multiple regional newspapers and publishers consolidated into a single entity.
National World plc secured admission to the standard segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on August 26, 2026, following a £5 million placing. The company was formed to acquire companies in the news publishing and digital media sector, as well as associated complementary technologies. This development follows news from June 26, 2026, when Iconic Media Group Limited, which owns three dozen Irish newspaper titles including 22 former National World newspapers, reported a £3.6 million loss for 2025. The group incurred a £6.5 million hit from exceptional items during that period, subsequent to an acquisition of National World assets. Previously, on October 14, 2025, regional publisher National World rebranded as Iconic Media and withdrew over 200 of its publications from the Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC).
