Magnus News Agency is a modern bespoke press agency providing and sourcing original and user-generated content for the British and international press, and social media industry.

Magnus was founded in August, 2017, drawing on a decade’s experience in the press, both in the UK and around the world.

Our award-winning director came up with the idea for Magnus because he is passionate about delivering the highest quality content to publishers, and so to their readers, viewers and listeners.
