UK media group publishing news, radio, and video across 40M monthly users
News UK operates a multi-brand publishing business (Times, Sun, talkSPORT, Times Radio, Virgin Radio) serving nearly 40 million monthly users across print, digital, audio, and video. The tech stack reflects a content-production operation: WordPress, React, GraphQL for publishing infrastructure, paired with heavy use of Adobe Premiere Pro, Canva, and social-distribution tools (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat). Marketing and product dominate the hiring mix—signaling a shift toward audience growth and digital monetization—while engineering hiring remains selective, suggesting reliance on managed hosting (AWS, CircleCI) and outsourced tooling rather than large-scale platform development.
