Big news from Colorado! Century Group Media parent company Times Media Group has acquired 21 publications in the greater Denver metropolitan area.
We are thrilled to announce that Times Media Group has successfully acquired 21 esteemed local community publications in the greater Denver metropolitan area from the National Trust for Local News. This acquisition encompasses 19 weekly newspapers along with their associated websites, as well as two direct-mail shopper publications.
The news brands shifting to Times Media Group (TMG) include newspapers like the Arvada Press, Littleton Independent and Parker Chronicle. The publications will continue to operate under the moniker Colorado Community Media.
The majority of Colorado Community Media’s employees were offered positions with TMG, while others will stay with the Colorado Trust for Local News (COTLN), a subsidiary of the National Trust dedicated to building an equitable, resilient, and vibrant future for local news across Colorado.
“We couldn’t be more excited to serve the communities in Colorado. We know how much community news means in this state, and we understand the terrific legacy created over the years by these publications and their teams,” said TMG founder and President Steve Strickbine, who has personal roots in Colorado. “This partnership is a good fit for Times Media Group and the National Trust for Local News. I look forward to the great journalism ahead and the new ways we’ll create for our advertisers to reach their customers and clients.”
As part of the transaction, TMG will print with the Trust Press, a community printing press designed to serve publishers across Colorado who are struggling with the rising costs of producing their journalism. As another part of the transaction, TMG will provide shared services to COTLN, including page design, digital infrastructure, advertising sales, and circulation management.
