Avery Journal-Times
U.S. local community news (no strong ideological lean)
The Avery Journal-Times is a weekly community newspaper in Newland, North Carolina, owned by the family-run chain Adams MultiMedia. It focuses on local government, schools, community events and regional news in Avery County and nearby areas. I found no evidence of a consistent slant toward or against the Trump administration; its coverage appears mostly local and neutral.
Owned byAdams MultiMedia (formerly Adams Publishing Group), a family-owned chain based in Minnesota and chaired by Steve Adams. It acquired the paper in 2016 when it bought Jones Media Inc. of Greeneville, Tennessee. I found no report of a later sale, but I could not confirm current ownership beyond 2025 sources.
