Black Press Media, founded in 1975, is positioned as the largest independent media company in North America, under the umbrella of Carpenter Media Group. The company's slogan, "Any time, Any place, Any device," underscores its strategic emphasis on accessibility and adaptability across multiple platforms.
With headquarters in Canada, Black Press Media operates extensively within diverse regions of the country—such as British Columbia, Central Alberta, and beyond—ensuring a robust presence via its localized news coverage. The company has expanded its reach across various U.S. states, including Louisiana, Texas, and Hawaii. This expansion is supported by its long-standing trust and legacy in local media, exemplified by historical publications like the Chilliwack Progress and the Ashcroft Journal.
Having last received investment from Torstar Corporation in 2002, the company is heralded for its commitment to high-quality journalism, earning numerous editorial awards. The media landscape it commands serves both suburban and urban markets through a blend of print and online platforms, making it a highly valuable asset in the Advertising and Publishing industries.
