Want your business to be the top-listed Media Company?
Pamela Polston and Paula Routly never planned to start a business. The two arts editors launched Burlington-based newsweekly Seven Days in 1995 after their former paper was sold out from under them. They began with a staff of six and a circulation of 12,000.
They believed Vermonters were ready for a smart, edgy and locally owned alternative to the mainstream media, and their instincts proved to be right. Twenty-two years later, their company employs more than 60 people who produce seven print publications, as well as numerous events, newsletters and a weekly web video series that’s racked up millions of views on YouTube.
With a print circulation of 36,000 copies a week — and a substantial digital readership — Seven Days has become an essential source for Vermont news, views and culture.
Seven Days has received many local, regional and national awards for its journalism and business practices. Here are just a few.
