Raconteur Media is the London publishing house that produces special interest reports for The Times, The Sunday Times and The Week and offers other special interest media services. The company was founded by Freddie Ossberg and Henrik Kanekrans in 2008. Today, the company’s offices are located in Covent Garden, London. Raconteur has the sole special reports contract for News International. The contract to publish for The Times and The Sunday Times was awarded in mid-2008, when the company was founded. Special reports produced by Raconteur are printed directly by News International and collated within the newspapers themselves, appearing in the centre spread on the day of publication. The reports cover a variety of topics in business, technology, healthcare, lifestyle, and sustainability. Notable titles recurring annually include ‘Supply Chain Management,’ ‘The Future of Retail,’ ‘The Future of Payments,’ ‘Prostate Cancer,’ and ‘Corporate Pensions.’ Between 2008 and 2012, Raconteur Media published 200 special reports for The Times and The Sunday Times, as well as five Times.co.uk microsites. In 2011, Raconteur also launched its own content site, The Raconteur. In January 2013, Raconteur opened its Custom Publishing division, based in London, with plans to expand the division to New York later in the year. Special reports, custom published projects, information graphics, market surveys, and content for the online environment comprise Raconteur's portfolio of work.
