Our Commitment To You: Bottom-line results
We have one mission at TownNews.com: Help newspapers survive and thrive in the New Media age.
We understand the special role that you as newspapers play in your communities. We understand how the Internet is changing media consumption. And we're using that knowledge to help newspapers "own the Internet" in their markets by providing easy-to-use content management systems and revenue generating tools.
Our roots are in newspapers. TownNews.com started in 1989 in the backroom of a weekly newspaper in Bigfork, Montana. But don't let the name fool you. While we revel in our roots in small-town community journalism, we've become the biggest company of our kind in North America. We serve newspapers with circulation ranging from 900 weekly to 300,000-plus daily. We have offices in Moline, Illinois; Rensselaer, New York; and New York City, New York. Our majority owner, Lee Enterprises, is one of the largest newspaper groups in the nation.
Don't let the ".com" in our name fool you. We were publishing newspapers long before we developed our first Web site. We believe in local newspapers today, and we see a bright future for papers that learn to adapt.
Our slogan is "Online Solutions, Bottom Line Results" because we know we need to combine technology with business plans that are rooted in reality, not hype. Our products and services help you - our friends - remain the dominant information providers in your communities.
