The paper began in 1764 and made news in 2002 when operations moved from the original press location of Chelmsford to the West Country. Chronicle editor Stuart Rawlins cited outdated press equipment as the impetus for the move.[2]
Reach acquired previous owner Northcliffe Media from Daily Mail and General Trust in 2012.[3]
