2018 Mega-Conference

Print is alive and well in Galveston and at Southern Newspapers

Posted

The Galveston County Daily News and Southern Newspapers, Inc., are unabashed print-centric companies. On the closing day of the Mega-Conference, hear how Coast Monthly and the companies' faith in print has transformed them.

Leonard Woolsey, publisher of The Galveston County Daily News, says: "We are not a large newspaper by any sense – a sub 20K circulation newspaper with a hometown base of less than 50,000 year-around residents.  But Coast Monthly is a dream we brought to market several years ago and is now approaching a $1 million annual revenue run rate."

Named the best magazine in Texas by the Texas Press Association for the past several years running, Woolsey says their readers and community take a tremendous amount of pride in the fact that this is their magazine.

He said, "Coast Monthly and our faith in print has transformed our newspaper and by extension, Southern Newspapers. Our newspaper now has added a brand new and highy profitable EBITDA stream to our 175-year old newspaper. And one we believe will serve the newspaper, community, readers and advertisers for many years to come."
