Digital First Media is a management company specializing in newspapers in the United States. It is headquartered in Denver, Colorado. [1]

It manages the MediaNews Group, Digital First Ventures, and 21st Century Media. Its website states it is "a business name of MediaNews Group". [2][3][4][5]

As of 2012, the combined newspapers and online media outlets managed by the company had 66.6 million readers.[6]

According to June[when?] comScore numbers, Digital First Media ranked No. 8 in comScore's General News Category ranking.[citation needed]

History

The company name comes from the "Digital First" transformation of traditional newspaper operations. According to DFM's former CEO John Paton[disambiguation needed], this process and workflow prioritizes delivery of news and information on the platform of the customer's choice—including web, mobile, SMS and social media.[citation needed]

California

On March 21, 2016 a bankruptcy judge approved the sale of Freedom Communications and its two major newspapers, the Orange County Register and the Riverside Press-Enterprise to Digital First Media (DFM). DFM is the parent of the Los Angeles Newspaper Group (LANG), which was renamed the Southern California News Group on the same day, which has eleven daily newspapers in Southern California. [7] [8]
