We first published in 1870 as the Lee County Journal, and are now the largest locally owned daily newspaper in the state, read by more than 85,000 Northeast Mississippians each day. Community owned. In 1934 George and Anna K. McLean purchased the newspaper with fewer than 500 subscribers. In 1972 they founded a non-profit charitable organization, CREATE (Christian, Research, Education, Action, Technical, Enterprises) to stimulate private giving and improve the quality of life throughout Northeast Mississippi. In 1983 the McLeans gave the newspaper to the community through CREATE rather than selling it for millions of dollars to a national newspaper chain. Through CREATE, Journal Publishing has given more than $10 million dollars back into the community which has had a turnaround effect of more than $65 million. Journal Publishing is our print media division, made up of the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, eight weeklies and six total market coverage products. Area weeklies are the Pontotoc Progress, the Monroe Journal, the Chickasaw Journal, the Itawamba County Times, Ripley s Southern Sentinel, Ashland s Southern Advocate, the New Albany Gazette and Oxford Citizen. With total market coverage products, the Lee County Neighbors, Tippah Plus, Gazette Guide, Alcorn County Local Values, Pontotoc Plus, and the Times-Plus in Itawamba County, our printed products distribute to 148,900 households and reach more than 327,000 readers. Journal Logistics is our commercial real estate division that consists of more than one million square feet of space. Mr. McLean built incubator warehouses in the early 50 s to provide fledging manufacturers a start with affordable space. We now provide area, state, and national companies inventory management, warehouse leasing and commercial offices. Journal Interactive is our newest division. It is comprised of nine websites which provide the people of Northeast Mississippi the latest in national, state, and most importantly, local news, sports, weather, business, and advertising. Sites are djournal.com, NeMissJobs.com, nemshomes.com, monroecountyjournal.com, chickasawjournal.com, itawambatimes.com, pontotocprogress.com, newalbanygazette.com, southernsentinel.com, southern-advocate.com and oxfordcitizen.com. The future. This year, we celebrate 144 years of service. However, the past is history. We look forward to the future as we continue to invest, act as a model for community involvement, and promote projects that will insure the continued growth of Northeast Mississippi. Hopefully we can be of future service to you. a subsidiary of
