As a preview of that, Francisco Reynés has mentioned that the key aspects of the Strategic Plan 2018-2022 are simplicity in management, focus of attention, efficiency, accountability, investment discipline and innovación. “Our Strategic Plan is going to focus on creating value for shareholders, employers, customers and the environment”, he added.
This General Shareholders’ Meeting has been the first since Francisco Reynés was appointed new Executive Chairman of the company in february.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
