History

The company name comes from the "Digital First" transformation of traditional newspaper operations. According to DFM's former CEO John Paton, this process and workflow prioritizes delivery of news and information on the platform of the customer's choice—including web, mobile, SMS and social media.

California

On March 21, 2016 a bankruptcy judge approved the sale of Freedom Communications and its two major newspapers, the Orange County Register and the Riverside Press-Enterprise to Digital First Media (DFM). DFM is the parent of the Los Angeles Newspaper Group (LANG), which was renamed the Southern California News Group on the same day, which has eleven daily newspapers in Southern California. [7] [8]
