Lee Agri-Media: Enterprise of the year

On Thursday, Lee Agri-Media was named Lee's enterprise of the year. Lee Agri-Media, a network of 14 farm newspapers and sites over 13 states, was honored for "record growth in revenue and cash flow for the fifth year in a row." It has been an enterprise of year finalist three times in the past four years.

"Enterprise of the Year" finalists announced

The winner will be announced in November. The 5 finalists:

• Lee Agri-Media
• TownNews.com
• Cayuga Media, which includes The Citizen and The Skaneateles Journal
• Kauai Publishing Co., which includes The Garden Island
• Lincoln (Neb.) Journal Star

Lee has details on why these 5 enterprises were picked. I will mention, though, that the Journal Star was selected because of  "strong performances in revenue." The paper laid off 16 employees in July to cut costs.
