Journal Gazette & Times-Courier

Journal Gazette & Times-Courier (JG-TC) and JG-TC.com cater to the east-central Illinois region, effectively reaching 87% of local adults within a 7-day period. The company provides tailored advertising packages, spanning from traditional print media to cutting-edge digital solutions.

With a daily circulation of over 12,000 and coverage of 15 communities, JG-TC stands out for its localized zoned newsroom operation, a distinctive feature in downstate Illinois for almost two decades.

The company's rich history dates back to 1840, with the establishment of Charleston's first newspaper, The Courier, and the inception of Mattoon's Weekly Independent Gazette in 1856. The consolidation of these publications and subsequent acquisitions by Howard Publications and Lee Enterprises have positioned JG-TC as a prominent player in the region.

JG-TC's unique approach to community-focused journalism, coupled with its extensive historical roots, presents compelling opportunities for potential investment in publishing industry, particularly for venture capitalists seeking to support local media outlets and innovative advertising solutions in the United States.
