Observer | Archant: a big noise from Norfolk to Hampstead |
 | | Archant, the family owned local newspaper group he runs, exerts an influence in the regions that far exceeds the largest dailies. |
 | | With nearly 200 newspapers and magazines and 2,800 employees, Archant is steadily expanding its sphere of influence, buying up papers in regions bordering its traditional stronghold and expanding in other areas, including the capital. |
 | | Archant has its origins in the 1840s, when three families - the Colemans (of mustard fame), the Copemans and the Tilletts - founded the Norwich-based Norfolk News. |
