Trinity Mirror is to sell Berkshire Regional Newspapers for £10m to the Berkshire Media Group, a subsidiary of The Dunfermline Press.
The price of the London and the South East-based titles, which includes the Reading Chronicle, equates to the business’s revenues in 2006.
The group also publishes the Bracknell Midweek News, Bracknell News Extra, Newbury & Thatcham Chronicle, Reading Chronicle Midweek, Slough Windsor & Ascot Informer and Slough Windsor Eton Express.
Dumferline Press chief executive Deidre Romanes said: ‘This is a significant development for us, which will allow us to strengthen our offer to readers and advertisers alike. All our newspapers act as the voice of their communities – we will be listening and speaking to our new Berkshire readers.’
