News Media - United States
Carpenter Media Group
At Carpenter Media Group, we firmly believe in the importance of heroes. Our heroes are not just figures of admiration; they are the pillars of our organization and the communities we serve. They come in various forms: the dedicated reader who seeks truth and understanding, the vibrant community that forms the foundation of our societal fabric, the resilient local business owner who creates jobs and drives local economies, and the talented members of our team, constantly growing and contributing to the cause of journalism, commerce and community.
These heroes inspire our mission, guide our values, and shape our work. These individuals are not just part of the story – they are the story, driving change, growth, and progress in every aspect of our work.
We embrace a philosophy inspired by industry icons like James B. Boone, Jr., Carmage Walls, and others, focusing on creating high-quality products that contribute to and uplift the communities they serve. Our commitment to quality encompasses not just our content but also our people and facilities. We understand that exceptional products and sustainable profits result from a dedicated team working in a collaborative environment.
The newspapers, websites and magazines we lead are the cornerstones of their communities, allies to businesses, incubators for innovation, and cultivators of journalistic talent. We aim to forge a well-informed, interconnected, and prosperous society – one community at a time.
