Digital media and advertising network serving 50M+ monthly readers across 800 platforms
MediaNews Group operates a dual-sided media business: 800+ news and digital properties generating 50M+ monthly visits, and Adtaxi, a programmatic advertising unit with access to 200M+ U.S. adults monthly. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward Salesforce, Oracle financials, and Adobe creative tools—standard for media operations—but the hiring mix (sales and design headcount front-loaded, finance and ops matched equally) and active projects around digital sales strategy and advertising solutions improvement signal a shift toward performance marketing and programmatic revenue over print. Pain points around solution adoption and process inefficiency suggest ongoing operational integration across legacy publishing and newer digital advertising divisions.
MediaNews Group is one of the largest media publishers in the U.S., operating through three business segments: a network of 800+ digital and multimedia platforms reaching 50M+ monthly visitors; 49 Pulitzer Prize–winning local newspapers serving high-value audiences in key markets; and Adtaxi, a performance-focused digital advertising unit that partners with advertisers on search, social, programmatic, and omni-channel campaigns. The company spans publishing, advertising operations, financial services (Oracle Cloud–based), and creative services, with around 1,000–5,000 employees based in Denver, Colorado. Sales velocity is steady, with active recruitment across sales, media, design, and finance roles, primarily in the United States.
