MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN ALABAMA
Tracing its roots to the early 19th century, southern print media is characterized by heavy modern chain consolidation among its major metropolitan dailies. Readership is historically anchored by Advance Local publications like The Birmingham News and the Mobile Press-Register, which recently shifted to digital-first formats, alongside the Gannett-owned Montgomery Advertiser, founded in 1829 to serve the capital. The regionally significant Anniston Star has long maintained a reputation for independent editorial leadership in the eastern counties. Serving specialized audiences, historic Black publications such as The Birmingham Times continue a long tradition of chronicling local African-American communities.
