History

The Advertiser News was founded in 2003 by Jeff Bryant. Jeff, along with his wife Karen Bryant and Advertising Representative David Hancock, were the driving force in creating and publishing the newspaper. The very first edition was published in October 2003. At the time the newspaper was a tabloid and was printed every two weeks. The newspaper was actually started in the attic office space of local Spring Hill attorney Amy Cross.

In June 2004, The Advertiser News Group was formed as a holding company and started a sister publication called Brentwood Life. It was followed five months later by the first publication of the Franklin Life in November 2004.

The Advertiser News Group was purchased by Stephens Media in July 2005. Stephen Media also owns The Columbia Daily Herald, and many other publications around the country. On February 19, 2015, the company announced it had sold its Stephens Media newspapers to the New Media Investment Group, a publicly traded company based in New York for $102.5 million in cash. The deal closed in April 2015, GateHouse Media manages this newspaper as well as 140 Daily and 475 weekly newspapers in 37 states.

In mid-2017 The Advertiser News hired Chris Yow from Alabama as its Managing Editor and brought in Craig Duncan as the General Manager from their sister paper in Columbia, Tennessee.
