The Daily Home

What The Daily Home does

The Daily Home is a daily local newspaper serving Talladega County, Alabama, with distribution reach into communities including Talladega, Sylacauga, Childersburg, Munford, and Lincoln. Founded in 1867 and operating as a division of Consolidated Publishing (which also publishes The Anniston Star and The St. Clair Times), the newspaper is headquartered at 124 Court Sq E, Talladega. Its core content covers local news, high school and amateur sports, features (food, faith, entertainment, community, celebrations, health, life), religion, classifieds, and obituaries.

The publication operates on a multi-format distribution model: physical print home delivery, a digital e-edition accessible through the annistonstar.com platform, and native iOS and Android mobile applications. Content management is built on the BLOX Content Management System from BLOX Digital, a standard CMS used across community newspapers. Supplemental products include the Lakeside Living Magazine (a monthly lakeside-lifestyle special publication) and several segmented email newsletters. Obituaries are distributed via a partnership with Legacy.com.

The business model rests on three revenue streams: recurring print and digital subscriptions (print-only, digital e-edition, and combined bundles, billed monthly), local advertising (display, classifieds, and business directory marketplace listings), and revenue from special publications. Marketing is conducted primarily through Facebook, Twitter, email newsletters, and the website. The Daily Home is privately held, has no venture capital or public-market exposure, employs 11-50 people, and does not disclose revenue figures publicly.
