Horizon Publications is a Canadian media company that operates community newspapers and digital news platforms across Ontario and Quebec. Founded in the late 20th century, the company has established itself as a significant player in local news publishing. The company owns and manages several weekly and daily newspapers, primarily serving small to medium-sized communities. Notable publications in their portfolio include The Napanee Beaver, The Barry’s Bay This Week, and The Valley Gazette. These publications focus on local news, community events, and regional issues relevant to their respective markets. Horizon Publications has adapted to the digital age by maintaining online presence for many of its newspapers, offering both print and digital subscriptions to readers. The company’s business model combines traditional print advertising revenue with digital marketing solutions for local businesses. The organization maintains a decentralized structure, allowing individual publications to maintain editorial independence while sharing corporate resources and infrastructure. This approach enables each newspaper to preserve its distinct local voice while benefiting from the economies of scale of a larger media organization. Throughout its history, Horizon Publications has expanded primarily through strategic acquisitions of established community newspapers, contributing to the preservation of local journalism in smaller Canadian communities.
