Community Newspaper Holdings
Community Newspaper Holdings, Inc. (CNHI) was an information and media holding company founded in 1997. It owned newspapers, television stations, and web sites which served 150 communities in the United States. It employed more than 2,600 people in 23 states and had over $520 million in annual revenue, placing it among the largest privately-owned companies in the region.
The company was headquartered at 3500 Colonnade Parkway and the president and CEO was Donna Barrett. A major financial backer of CNHI was the Retirement Systems of Alabama headed by David Bronner. When the RSA built a new 12-story office tower in downtown Montgomery in 2011, it recruited CNHI as a tenant, and the headquarters moved to the state capital.
CNHI was acquired by Raycom Media in 2017.
