Change of Director

Dublin/London- 4 November 2008: Independent News & Media PLC (“INM”) today announces the resignation of Mr Brendan Hopkins as a Director of INM. Mr Hopkins resignation follows INM’s decision to conduct a strategic review of its shareholding in APN News & Media Limited (“APN”), of which he is Chief Executive.

Pending the outcome of this review, Mr Hopkins said he was mindful that APN and its shareholders would require his singular focus at this critical juncture and that his resignation from the board of INM is appropriate in these circumstances.

The Board fully accepts and understands Mr Hopkins’ decision which is effective from 31 October 2008.

“Independent News & Media has always understood that beyond being a very successful company in the financial sense, it has broader social responsibilities to all those communities where it operates. This is demonstrated by over 200 projects and charities which the company has underwritten and supported and can be seen from the work that INM has done in education, particularly the work they’ve done in health education in South Africa in relation to HIV and AIDS.”

Baroness Margaret Jay, Non-Executive Director
