                 Re:  Management restructure and Board changes


The  Board is creating a new senior executive role within the Group. Reporting
to  Group  Chief Executive Philip Graf, the role will encompass strategic  and
operational responsibility for all of Trinity Mirror's newspapers.   The  role
includes responsibility for the development of the Group's newspapers and  the
assets that underpin them.  In addition, it will encourage the development  of
best  practices between the national and regional businesses.  The appointment
will  also allow Philip Graf to focus on accelerating the development  of  the
Group's strategy.

The  Group is agreeing final terms with the individual it has chosen  to  fill
the  role  and  will make an announcement shortly. As part of this  management
change,  Mark  Haysom, Regional Director, Midlands, South Wales  and  Southern
England  has been promoted to Managing Director, National Newspapers and  will
manage  the  national newspaper business. Stephen Parker,  Regional  Director,
North  will  become  Managing  Director, Regional  Newspapers  and  take  full
responsibility  for  the  regional and local newspaper  business.   Both  Mark
Haysom and Stephen Parker will report directly to the new appointee.

With these new appointments Mike Masters, Group Managing Director, Publishing
UK and Ireland will be resigning as a Director of the Company, taking early
retirement at the end of December 2000.   Roger Eastoe, Group Managing
Director, National and Sports Division has chosen to resign as a director of
the company.   He will be pursuing a number of business opportunities and will
leave the company at the end of September.

Philip Graf, Chief Executive, commented:

'This  new role marks an important evolution in the development of our  senior
management team, bringing a dedicated strategic and operational focus to  this
key area of our business for the first time.

I  would also like to thank Mike for the key role he has played in the success
of Trinity over many years and for his help and unstinting commitment latterly
at  Trinity Mirror, and to Roger for his 25 years of outstanding work  on  the
National  Titles and the role he has played in the successful rejuvenation  of
The Mirror over the last four years.'
