Guardian: Newsquest, the U.S.-owned regional newspaper group with more than 200 titles in the U.K., has acquired 29 more by buying the Romanes Media group. Romanes publishes one daily newspaper, the Greenock Telegraph, in Scotland, plus 19 paid-for weeklies and nine weekly frees. Its portfolio includes several papers in Scotland, one major weekly in Northern Ireland, the Enniskillen-based Impartial Reporter, and a clutch of weeklies in Berkshire, such as the Reading Chronicle, Bracknell News and Slough Observer. The deal, for an undisclosed sum, comes after years of cost-cutting by Newsquest, which is owned by Gannett.
