What is a news group?

The company's major titles are published by three subsidiary companies, Times Newspapers Ltd, News Group Newspapers and NI Free Newspapers Limited. These newspapers are published at a large site in Wapping in east London, near Tower Hill, which earned the nickname "Fortress Wapping" after a fierce dispute with the union to which the workforce had previously belonged. Between 1987 and 1995, News International owned News (UK) Ltd which published Today, the first UK national newspaper to be printed in colour. All of these newspapers were founded by other owners, in some cases hundreds of years ago.
