The CN Group Limited is an independent local media business based in Carlisle which operates in three different media fields.
The company was formerly known as the Cumbrian Newspapers Group Ltd but changed its name to reflect the fact that is no longer primarily a newspaper publisher. One of its principal subsidiaries is still known as Cumbrian Newspapers Ltd though.
The company can trace its origins to the founding of the Carlisle Patriot newspaper in 1815 which eventually became the Cumberland News.
