News and Tribune

What News and Tribune does

News and Tribune is a local newspaper serving Clark and Floyd counties in Southern Indiana, with headquarters at 221 Spring Street, Jeffersonville, Indiana. The company publishes hyperlocal news, high school and college sports coverage, local government and court reporting, business news, obituaries, and community announcements for residents of Jeffersonville, New Albany, Charlestown, and surrounding communities. Its product portfolio centers on a core news website powered by the BLOX Content Management System from BLOX Digital, supplemented by a digital E-Paper edition, mobile applications for iOS and Android, and Constant Contact-based email newsletters. The company also operates The Thin Line Podcast, an NTSPY Awards sub-brand recognizing local high school athletes, NT Sports Magazine, NT Magazines (including Diversity and Snapshot), photo galleries, classifieds, obituary services, online puzzles and games, and an annual Voters Guide.

The business is privately held and operates as a subsidiary of CNHI LLC, a Montgomery, Alabama-based media conglomerate that owns and operates multiple community newspaper properties across the United States. Revenue is generated through three principal streams: print and digital subscriptions with auto-renewing billing cycles, advertising sold to local businesses (display ads, classifieds, public notices), and classifieds/marketplace transaction listings covering jobs, autos, real estate, and public notices via partnerships such as the Indiana Exchange. Distribution channels include home-delivery print subscriptions, E-Paper access, a mobile app, and an open-access website, supported by organic social presence on Facebook and Instagram.

The company has a small operational footprint of 11-50 employees, reflecting the lean staffing profile typical of community-level newspaper operations in the U.S. local media sector. No public financial disclosures, funding rounds, leadership changes, M&A activity, or third-party investors were identified in the source data, and no AI/ML capabilities are documented. Distribution of legacy print, digital subscription monetization, and CNHI's shared corporate and technology infrastructure form the operational backbone of the business.
