Mediaforce up for RIM titles
Mediaforce, the Edinburgh and Manchester-based independent media sales company, is widely expected to pick up the sales contracts for the 53 Regional Independent Media titles acquired by Johnston Press two weeks ago.
Mediaforce currently holds the contracts for Johnston Press' regional and local newspaper titles in Scotland
Simon Ridley-Thomas, a director at Mediaforce, declined to comment on the business as The Drum went to press.
However, an industry source said that a decision is expected to be made on the future of the contracts by Johnston Press by the middle of April.
