The Lynchburg Times is proud to announce a new corporate sponsor: Lee Adcock Construction, a Bedford County-based company with a long history of community investment here in Lynchburg. With their generous commitment, Lee Adcock Construction becomes a founding sponsor of our newly formalized corporate underwriting program.
In today’s rapidly shifting media landscape, The Lynchburg Times is proud to operate differently. We don’t rely on clickbait, paywalls, or pop-up ads. Our stories are free to read and always grounded in accuracy, transparency, and context – even when the news is hard. Instead of traditional ad sales, we are building a journalism model rooted in reciprocity –one that invites readers, local businesses, and civic partners to support our mission because they believe in what we do and understand the value of trustworthy reporting.
“Our goal is to be a respected watchdog and a platform for all voices,” said Editor & Publisher Tabitha Evans Moore. “Support from local businesses like Lee Adcock Construction makes that possible. It allows us to cover more meetings, file more records requests, devote more time to investigative reporting, elevate emerging writers, and spotlight the people and stories that make this place special.”
Underwriting does not buy influence
Underwriting does not effect our editorial decisions. There is no editorial influence exchanged. Underwriters simply receive quiet recognition as supporters of community journalism, and in return, their sponsorship helps ensure our independent newsroom can continue to do the work that matters and that you will always be able to read our stories without annoying logins and paywalls.
Weekly corporate underwriting will be capped and carefully curated to reflect the values of The Lynchburg Times: integrity, transparency, and a deep-rooted commitment to Moore County. We also announce each underwriter publicly for full transparency.
If your business or organization believes in the mission of The Lynchburg Times, we invite you to join our circle of supporters. For underwriting inquiries, reach out to editor@lynchburg-times.com. •
