Westward is proud to own three media groups. The largest group, Houston Community Newspapers, serves suburban communities surrounding Houston, its headquarter’s city. Westward’s media holdings also include Colorado Community Newspapers serving communities south of Denver, and East Texas Community Newspapers.

Westward’s overall distribution footprint has more than doubled in the past decade, including growth in the Houston market and the acquisition of publications in Longview and Marshall, Texas.

The company has made significant management and operational changes over the past three years to execute a strategy for maximizing profitable growth in suburban markets.

Westward’s media teams are leaders in partnering with local and major advertisers to leverage the strength of hyper local media to connect advertisers with their targeted audience.

ASP Westward’s media groups pride themselves in:

Hyper Local Focus - Westward's editors live in the communities in which they work. They know what matters most to their readers. Each print publication and digital product provides unique, relevant information about local politics, schools, sports, and community events. Advertising sales representatives also live in the communities served by their local print and digital products. They provide sales and marketing solutions that meet the unique needs of local businesses.

Strong Market Position in Growing Markets - Westward is the leading community news source in all of its markets. Their print and digital products provide exceptional value and maximum flexibility by offering advertisers the choice of advertising in targeted individual newspapers and websites, expanding to more broad clusters of products, or reaching the entire market. Westward actively pursues new business opportunities and acquisitions.
