Southern California News Group

Southern California News Group Southern California News Group (SCNG) operates 11 locally focused daily newspapers, community weeklies, magazines and numerous digital products.

Established in March 2016, Southern California News Group (SCNG) has virtually overnight become one of the most powerful and influential news organizations in the U.S. This dynamic union was created when the Los Angeles News Group (owners of nine local daily newspapers and websites) and its parent company Digital First Media (DFM) acquired Freedom Communications (owners of The Orange County Regist

er and The Press-Enterprise in Riverside). By combining these two highly regarded and well-established institutions, SCNG has emerged as the largest news content provider in the five-county Los Angeles metropolitan area. As a leader in circulation among top publications nationwide, SCNG now owns and operates 11 local daily newspapers and more than a dozen community weeklies. Our mission is to connect communities by providing readers with the area's best local news coverage, while providing advertisers with unprecedented access to one of the world's most diverse and dynamic audiences. No matter the distribution vehicle—newspaper, magazine, mobile, online—SCNG's in-depth reporting on local news, politics, sports and entertainment continues to attract a desirable audience for its customers. Combining print, online and social media SCNG now delivers premium content to more than 8.1 million adults every week, making it an indispensable marketing solution for advertisers across Southern California.
