Deeply rooted in the community for 13 years.
Our company’s story starts in 2008, when founder Dan Starnes purchased a struggling community newspaper for $10. It was in the middle of the great recession.
Within a few short years, Starnes Media grew from one paper to seven, covering Homewood, Hoover, Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills, the 280 corridor and Birmingham proper.
Our award-winning journalists have perfected the art of delivering the news people want to read, straight to their mailbox.
In 2016, the business further expanded with the opening of Starnes Digital. Now you can target your potential customers on print and online, crafting the exact ad campaign that pushes your growth to the next level.
