The Dundee Courier and Evening Telegraph, as well as its Web site, owned by DC Thomson, are to outsource its national sales to advertising house Mediaforce, HoldtheFrontPage reported.

Last month Northcliffe Media decided to outsource its national advertising to Mediaforce.

DC Thomson's other Scottish daily titles, the Aberdeen Press & Journal and the Evening Express, are also Mediaforce's clients.

Of DC Thomson's original national ad team of three, two will stay within the group and the third is retiring, HoldtheFrontPage reported.
