A Trinity Mirror investor is reported to have asked the company to find a partner to merge with.

The Sunday Times stated that some investors are worried about the debt level that is held by Trinity.

The merger call comes a year after talks between Trinity and Northcliffe Media broke down.

David Lis at Aviva Investors, Trinity's second-largest shareholder with a 10% stake in the business, is reported as saying: “It's imperative that there's consolidation within the regional newspapers space…It simply has to happen.”
