Online Newspaper Business & Community
Welcome to the New Source for Local Online News and the Future of the Newspaper Business!We all want a sense of community. Each town’s unique character comes from its people and local businesses. In the past, the home town newspaper has helped build that sense of community, but with the newspaper business facing a difficult future, and with local and regional newspapers failing, that sense of community is often in jeopardy.
HomeTownTimes.com is the new home town newspaper. We are the online news source for local communities throughout the country. Since 2003, when Hometowntimes.com launched its first local online news site, our mission has been to strengthen small towns and counties by providing a reliable and relaxing place to find fresh local online news, build relationships and promote businesses.
We have begun offering franchise opportunities in an effort to bring new life to the newspaper business, through a national brand delivering reliable, locally focused online news content. Our local online news sites come with all the support, training, and proven business and marketing experience that built our solid foundation and leverages our national footprint. Now, we're ready to offer our local online news and advertising formula to thousands of entrepreneurs across America.
