Times Community
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 on the decline.
Located in the heart of one of the nation's fastest growing 'infotech' corridors, the company is an exciting place to work near Dulles Airport and Washington, D.C. The Times has a sophisticated Human Resources Department focused on building superior workplace standards and professional development of staff.
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.
With over 300 staff members, the company continues to grow in the business of information distribution, both in print and web publishing. Steeped in over 200 years of local newspaper history, the company has grown by staying focused on its core mission of local, local news. Award-winning coverage of distinct communities throughout the region has served the company well. This unwavering devotion to high quality community news has carved a place in the hearts and minds of local readers and advertisers.
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. He served in every department of the company before becoming president and chief executive officer.
Under Peter’s leadership the company has grown rapidly in the past decade. In this time, the company has started or acquired newspapers in Fairfax, 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.
The privately held company makes decisions in the best interests of great journalism, the dedicated staff, and community affairs. The family owners regard the newspapers as a "public trust," serving the expressed interests of the local citizenry. The company is very civic-minded, lending meaning to the word "community" in the company name. Newspaper staff takes part in dozens of local causes supporting community development, specifically focused on education and youth charities. The company has established scholarships for local students and actively pursues its mission of improving literacy and education in every community they serve.
