The LMC provides its members with access to leading technology and content solutions by fostering partnerships and mutually beneficial relationships with companies such as Google, Monster, Facebook, Yahoo and others. By leveraging its sheer scale, the LMC is able to provide members with tools to succeed in digital publishing that most media companies would be unable to access on their own.

In turn, the LMC’s partners gain access to new business opportunities with the majority of local media companies.
