Times Community is the premier community news and information provider in Northern Virginia and the Piedmont. Our newspaper titles serve over 650,000 readers weekly and our websites are visited over 500,000 times a month. Both serve as the preeminent source for local news in the Virginia suburbs outside Washington, D.C., winning hundreds of national and state awards for journalistic excellence.
The owners and staff alike hold the company mission to “Build Community Trust” with great pride. It also reflects why the community newspaper business is booming while other newspaper sectors are in decline.
The company is committed to hiring the best in the business and supporting them with state-of-the-art equipment and training. Times employees move to and from some of the top media firms in the country.
In 1963, the company founder, Arthur Arundel, purchased the 165-year-old Loudoun Times-Mirror in Leesburg, VA. The company has been an innovative pioneer in American community journalism ever since.
Today the company is run by the founder's son, Peter Arundel, who worked in politics and CBS Newsradio before joining the family company.
Under Peter’s leadership the company has grown rapidly in the past decade. In this time, the company has started or acquired newspapers in Culpeper and Prince William counties, launched the websites, founded the national advertising division and expanded print offerings to an annual calendar of over 50 niche publications.
