Champion Media is a Media conglomerate headquartered in Mooresville, North Carolina. It was founded in 2017.
Champion Media was founded by Scott Champion and his son Corey Champion in 2017.
According to the company's management, Champion was founded with the purpose of alleviating the decline of newspapers. Specifically, by acquiring publications from large corporations. Then providing "back end support" such as accounting and human resources to the acquired papers, while leaving editorial and advertising to the paper's management. It began by acquiring several papers from Civitas Media based in North and South Carolina. That same year, they sold the Mount Airy based papers they had acquired to Adams MultiMedia. In August of 2019, Champion Media acquired the Times Leader in partnership with MIDTC. Six years later, they acquired 4 South Dakota newspapers after the bankruptcy of News Media Corporation. This was met with a largely positive response, though some were concerned that Champion would make the same mistakes as NMC.
In June of 2025, Champion Media paid a $102,500 settlement after a lawsuit by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which alleged that they canceled an interview with a deaf job applicant, due to the candidate's deafness.
