HD Media Company LLC is a prominent West Virginia-based media organization that specializes in the publication of daily and weekly newspapers. Established in 2013 by Doug Reynolds, the company was initially formed to acquire The Herald-Dispatch in Huntington. Since its founding, HD Media has grown its footprint across the state, adding the Charleston Gazette-Mail to its portfolio alongside several weekly publications such as the Logan Banner, Williamson Daily News, and the Wayne County News. The company maintains a centralized printing operation at its Charleston facility, supporting its diverse roster of titles and fostering deep community connections through local journalism.

In addition to its traditional print legacy, HD Media has actively expanded into the digital landscape to engage modern audiences through diverse multimedia formats. The company operates HDMediaTV, a dedicated streaming platform that broadcasts high school sports, local parades, and specialized programming. Its digital reach extends to original video content and podcasts, such as the statehouse politics livestream “Outside the Echo Chamber.” By utilizing platforms like YouTube for its talk shows and digital features, HD Media provides a comprehensive multimedia experience that complements its long-standing reporting.

This balanced approach allows HD Media to preserve the reliability of traditional media while embracing the agility of digital tools. While its newspapers continue to serve as a vital resource for regional politics and local and college sports, its investment in digital platforms—including mobile applications and e-editions—ensures accessibility for a digital-first generation. By integrating livestreaming, audio podcasts, and social media management, the company has evolved into a multi-faceted media hub that remains “local in spirit and practice” across both physical and virtual spaces, consistently delivering Trusted Journalism, Modern Media.
