Opinion of the company strongly depends on opinion of local leadership

Pros

Realistically, we live in a world where there are very few organizations that still believe in the mission of doing good journalism. Adams is one of those organizations.

Cons

There is far too much focus on revenue streams that are on a multi-decade decline. The personnel resources poured into advertising (including classified advertising! in 2026!) is a really bad look for a company that wants to be serious about survival. An audience focus has to be paramount, and that is too infrequently the case in our region.

Pros

The forward thinking of ownership and management. In this continuously changing media environment it is key yo be planning 2-3 years or more down the road. AMM is doing just that.

Cons

Each individual market is different. Need less one size fits all corporate initiatives.

Ups and downs, company that only sort of cares.

Business Outlook

Pros

Mission-oriented work. Some in management truly try to make this a great place to work, not all though. Recent effort to improve the workplace culture is appreciated but overdue.

Cons

Willingness to move on from poor managers when it's clear they don't value their employees and can mistreat them.
