Duncan Williams (newspaper Executive)
Duncan Williams is a British publisher involved in regional news and sport media. Williams has been described as a media entrepreneur by members of the newspaper industry.

As rapid readership migrations from print to digital took hold, Williams maintained that "the real value investment is in the brand".
