Give light and the people will find their own way.Scripps is a company where competing truths coexist.
We are proud of our long and rich history, but we stay fixated on the future.
We are creating national media brands that complement and support our successful local media but also some that could compete with and disrupt them.
We employ accomplished journalists who have earned prestigious industry awards and have authority with audiences. But we’re also a band of contrarians who challenge the process and push ourselves to do new things.
We are obsessed with being right, but we’re not afraid to experiment and, occasionally, to fail.
