Allied Newspapers were started in 2007 with the concept of a libertarian collection of newspapers with no left and no right. The Group has since emerged to span the world in newspapers sharing a common theme and writers from myriad socio-political spheres. Amidst the proliferation of media channels Allied Newspapers seeks to form a platform for free speech whilst providing a solid base for advertisers with which to establish a global brand across six continents and markets. Allied Newspapers has established a media channel with hundreds of thousands of users including many prestigious titles such as the New York Daily Sun, The Football Magazine, Hong Kong Morning Star and the viral video hub Viral Bucket. As a Group, Allied is always on the lookout for new writing and creative talent and whether you are a blogger in an internet café in Rangoon or a journalist writing for an established newspaper, Allied is all ears. Allied Newspapers uses a business model which is already turning newspaper content and other content provision on its head; as old print media is driven into history and individual newspapers fail to flourish as standalone enterprises, Allied Newspapers is showing the way forward in news delivery and beginning to establish a foothold in virtual entertainment.
