Co-operative Press
The Co-operative Press is a co-operative whose principal activity is the publication of "Co-op News". The society's stated mission is to "connect, champion and challenge the global co-operative movement". The co-operative's members are the subscribers of "Co-op News". Founded in Manchester in 1873, the Co-operative Press is still headquartered in the city, at Holyoake House. The society was first incorporated as the Co-operative Newspaper Society by a group of co-operative societies to take on the publishing of "The Co-operative News". Printing was carried out by  the Co-operative Printing Society. In 1921 the society merged with the Scottish Co-operative Newspaper Society and renamed itself as the National Co-operative Publishing Society, before taking on its current name – the Co-operative Press – in 1935. In 1971 the Society took over the co-operative Birmingham Printers, and in 1972 merged with the Co-operative Printing Society. Publications. Section::::"Co-op News".
