Trinity Mirror Share Discussion Threads

A good response from Google today, but the battle is only just begun. A couple of juicy hate videos in the next few days/weeks and they will be really on the back foot.
It will then be inevitable that major agencies would demand specific sites for their campaigns.

Mirror Mirror on the wall... up you go.... push push higher!

Ironstorm .my sentiments as well
Google could buy Tni with its petty cash. Sometimes the sales team all they have to do is ask for the order. Hopefully tni will.

I am not sure you arE right on Google. If newspapers were the future Google would buy out TNI for loose change.

Longer term this will play into Google hands as they have the money and the wherewithal to invest in the tech to stop this. They will find a way of certifying that they are REAL news. Expect the BBC to be in on this.

TNI will also have to smarten up their act. The Daily Mirror website is a hot bed of links to Fake news.

Its time some one smelt the coffee - Ads need to be WANTED... They only really work in magazines and Newspapers - especially HOME and GARDEN sections - but probably MOTOR too and MUSIC of course - plays and theatre.

Its not rocket science - its has to be newspapers. What the industry needs is cheap embedded chips in wafer thin , bendy white material that can be used to read papers - a big big brother to the kindle - so we can watch video clips in our 'papers' (as seen on Harry Potter)...

The industry NEEDS to CLUB together and produce a NEWSPAPER KINDLE - you can read your papers on-line but only via NEWSPAPER TECH - A NEWSPAPER KINDLE.

Like the Daily Mirror once produced the Mirror Dinghy, the big players need to produce a News Paper Kindle.


Google is old failed tech. IT DOES NOT WORK as an advertising medium..

Get out there journalists and reclaim what is yours!

Marks have now blacklisted Google, it is becoming a torrent. The only way for advertisers to be given full protection against landing on hate sites is by reversing the booking process. Media buyers must buy specific sites, not by using generic automated purchases.
This must be to the benefit of all the major news groups but particularly Trinity which has a disproportionate percentage of its future tied to its online services.

harry: Totally agree. You often buy a paper like TNI's Surrey Advertiser (its name says it all) specifically for the averts. You do not go to google for adverts. Thus each week people go to Sainsburys or Waitrose, get their shopping and buy the Surrey Advertiser (to see if any good local deals or auctions etc)....

For sure our market has been falling, but there are whole new sections of people buying papers that never used to... Especially for house and homes sections..... If you buy the magazine it costs about £5 - papers often throw these sections in for "free" - its a booming sector...

Google scandal? Which one, sir?

[harry_david] 17/3/2017 12:24

This Google scandal should be really good news for online news sites. Advertisers will now be looking for respectable sites and honest reporting. Trinity should be in the box seat with its portfolio able to highlight specific localities and audience numbers audited by abc.

all seems good to me

The buyback keeps on rocking 100k yesterday. And US interest rates tweaked up. Interesting times and the newspaper deal simmering in the background.

[ragehammer] 16/3/2017 11:14

The current buy back programme is for £10m.

[cityconindex] 16/3/2017 10:46

What's the company's budget for the buyback and are they taking it forward into the next financial year?

[freddie ferret] 14/3/2017 15:59

They have been trying to hide it with some smaller buys but it looks like the company are really buying heavy, we seem to be settling down to 140,000-150,000 shares a day now.

Short positions diminishing over the years;

Aviva have come down over the last nine months from about 28 million to their current level of 15 million and completely flattened the share price in the process. Trinity is not an index stock nor are newspapers fashionable and market could not absorb heavy selling.
I understand Aviva had a change of management and this is all the effort of the new broom. Fairly incompetent handling in my view.

[harry_david] 13/3/2017 13:56

The amount of buying, even if there is some double counting, is most encouraging. At last it appears to be making inroads into Aviva's selling order. Once Aviva goes below 10 million or so we can expect to see the pace of buying really accelerate, as this will be a definite indicator of a recovery. Even Mr Odey may judge the time right to start covering his short.

Harry your guess is good as anyone's, but prolific repurchases. Board must think the stock is under valued...Gheck it on HL site.

Some big relative to the stock buys/sells late last week.

[harry_david] 13/3/2017 10:32

There is something peculiar going on in the large trades being reported every day recently. Today is a perfect example, one line of 225,000 and two other lines, one of 175,000 and one of 50,000. the prices are all the same so there is no broker margin involved. Does anyone know what is behind this? It certainly boosts the reported volume, but to what purpose?
