The Alabama Media Group is a digital media company that produces three of Alabama's major newspapers -- The Birmingham News, The Huntsville Times and The Press-Register -- and the state's largest news information website, AL.com.
Alabama Media Group is a subsidiary of Advance Publications, Inc., a privately held communications company that owns Advance Digital, Condé Nast Publications, Parade Publications, Fairchild Fashion Group, American City Business Journals, Inc., Golf Digest Publications and more than 25 newspapers across the country.[1]
The company also includes two Mississippi properties: The Mississippi Press and its website, GulfLive.com. Advance Publications, the Alabama Media Group's parent company, acquired The Mississippi Press, the Mobile Register and the Mobile Press (later to become the Mobile Press-Register) in 1966.[2] The Mississippi properties remain part of the Alabama Media Group.
The four newspapers are published three days a week: Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Production and distribution, is handled by a separate company, Advance Central Services Alabama, which also provides technology, finance and human resources support.[3]
