Dow Jones Local Media GroupDow Jones Local Media Group is owned by Dow Jones & Company, Inc.. William T. Kennedy is the CEO of Dow Jones Local Media Group. Dow Jones Local Media Group, formerly known as Ottaway Newspapers, is the community newspaper subsidiary of Dow Jones & Company. Dow Jones acquired the company in 1970. Dow Jones Local Media Group publishes eight daily newspapers, 15 weekly newspapers and a collection of magazines and Internet sites in six U.S. states. Each newspaper is published and edited locally, and each operates under a policy of autonomy intended to preserve the quality of service to the community it serves. The Ottaway organization was founded in November 1936 when James H. Ottaway Sr. purchased the Bulletin, a semi-weekly newspaper in Endicott, N.Y. Within a year he converted it into a daily and in 1944 began buying other publications, starting in the northeast and eventually crossing the country. In 1970, Ottaway sold the company to Dow Jones. In 2009, after News Corporation acquired Dow Jones & Company, the name of the division was changed to Dow Jones Local Media Group. Operating results and editorial quality are the responsibility of each publisher and team of department heads. At the corporate headquarters in Middletown, NY, executives and specialists in finance, sales and marketing provide assistance to all locations for print and online operations. A central staff for information services and the Internet provides technical support. In 1973, then-president James H. Ottaway Jr. formalized the company's commitment in a statement of editorial philosophy which begins: "The first purpose and priority of DJLMG is to maintain high standards of excellence in news content, editorial quality and public service. We pursue these professional standards of journalism with a strict policy of local editorial independence, tempered only by the requirements of news and editorial quality. Local autonomy is not a license to publish a poor newspaper, but the freedom and responsibility to publish a great one." Contact Information
