Jersey Evening Post

What Jersey Evening Post does

Jersey Evening Post (JEP) is a privately held daily newspaper and multi-platform local media business serving the island of Jersey, established in 1890 and operated under parent company All Island Media Ltd. It is Jersey's only daily newspaper, providing comprehensive local coverage of news, sport, weather, politics, business, and community events, with an editorial footprint complemented by sister publication Bailiwick Express. The company employs between 101 and 250 people and is headquartered at Le Gallais Chambers, Bath Street, St Helier. Its product portfolio is built on the Newspack publishing platform and spans a tiered subscription ecosystem — including Plus (£4.99/month or £49/year), Unlimited (£99/year), JEP Extra (£35/month or £325/year), JEP Digital (£9.99/month or £99/year), and combined Print+Digital packages — plus an e-edition digital replica, classifieds platforms (Jobs, Property, Family Notices), a photo archive store, puzzles, weather and travel information services, magazine supplements (Homelife, Connect), and Bailiwick Radio podcasts.

JEP monetizes through a recurring subscription model as its core revenue stream, complemented by single-copy print sales, display and classified advertising via the dedicated JEP Media arm, sponsored content partnerships (with Capital International, Titan Wealth, and Prosperity 24/7), and creative services including copywriting, photography, and video production. Distribution is multi-format: print home delivery six days per week, newsagent retail, self-serve digital subscriptions, mobile apps, and the e-edition platform. Pricing power was demonstrated by the 2026 subscription price increases (£33 to £35 monthly, £310 to £325 annually for JEP Extra) attributed to rising printing costs.

The company's strategic moat rests on its unique status as Jersey's sole daily newspaper (efficient scale in a market of ~103,000 residents), 130+ years of brand heritage, and the 2021 British Press Awards 'Newspaper of the Year' recognition. Geographic concentration on Jersey is both the moat and the principal risk: there is no disclosed geographic diversification, no external funding, no M&A activity since the 2021 Affinity Wealth acquisition, and no AI/ML capabilities built in-house. The company is positioned as a stable, mature local monopoly with modest product-surface expansion into podcasts, live streaming, and classifieds.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Newsquest: Newsquest is one of the UK's largest regional media groups, publishing over 200 regional newspapers and websites. Comparable to JEP in operating regional/local subscription and advertising-funded news titles, but serves multiple UK regions rather than a single island market.
• Reach plc: Reach plc is the UK's largest regional newspaper publisher (Mirror, Express, Star, and hundreds of regional titles including Manchester Evening News, Birmingham Mail, Bristol Post). Comparable to JEP as a regional/local newspaper operator with subscription + advertising revenue, but operates at vastly greater scale across many markets.
• National World: National World (formerly JPIMedia) publishes regional UK titles such as The Scotsman, Yorkshire Post, and The National. Comparable to JEP as a regional news publisher transitioning print titles to digital subscription models, but with broader geographic and editorial coverage.
• BBC Channel Islands: BBC Channel Islands is the BBC's regional news service covering Jersey and Guernsey. Comparable to JEP as a Channel Islands local news provider with strong audience reach, but operates as a publicly-funded broadcaster offering free content rather than a subscription newspaper model.
• ITV Channel Television: ITV Channel Television is the regional ITV broadcaster for the Channel Islands, providing local TV news to the same Jersey and Guernsey audience that JEP serves. Comparable as a Channel Islands local media outlet competing for local advertising and audience attention, but distributed via broadcast rather than print.

Direct peers

• Isle of Man Newspapers: Isle of Man Newspapers (Isle of Man Examiner, Isle of Man Today) publishes daily and weekly titles serving a small self-governing Crown Dependency. Highly comparable to JEP as a small-island local newspaper group with print + digital subscriptions and a monopoly on daily local journalism.
• Guernsey Press: Guernsey Press is the daily newspaper for Guernsey, the other main Channel Island. It is the most direct comparable to JEP — same Crown Dependency geography, similar business model (print + digital subscriptions, local advertising), and overlapping audience of Channel Islands residents and businesses.

Others

• Bailiwick Express: Bailiwick Express is a Channel Islands digital news publication operated under the same parent company (All Island Media) as JEP. Bundled with JEP subscriptions, it is more of a corporate affiliate than an external peer, but offers comparable local Channel Islands news content to overlapping audiences.
