Adams Publishing Group reviews

Low wages. Lack of journalistic knowledge and standards. Unfair hiring standards. Unfair salary requirements. Lousy insurance. CEO and other top management are unfit to lead. No knowledge of the amount of staff it takes to manage a newspaper. No knowledge nor care for the communities they serve.

Let's start with the fact that I worked for Adams Publishing. They bought a hometown, 100+ year old paper that had an 85% market share. Last I heard, it is around 10%. We had a guaranteed commission - that stopped. We had a 12% 401k match - that stopped. They removed the management from the building during their (hostile) takeover in order to offer promotions to "friends" who have been with them in other markets for who knows how long. They ignore seniority and hire people off the street who former management repeatedly turned down due to lack of qualifications. All in all this is a poorly run company. They are unfortunately purchasing papers in order to take all of the money they can before either selling them or closing them. They are a hedge fund who have no knowledge of the industry nor do they care.
