Requirements to join LMA Digital Club

  • Your company must operate local media properties: newspapers, TV stations, radio stations, digital-only local sites, directories, or any other bona fide local media entity. Sorry, but we cannot accept media industry service providers/R&D partners into Digital Club.
  • You are charged with growing digital products, engagement and/or revenue at your company. We have a wide mix of titles, but this is meant primarily for senior-level executives. A mix of strategic and tactical expertise is required.
  • You must submit an application to join.
  • You must commit to attend, or have your alternate attend, as many LMADC meetings as possible. We work hard to ensure meeting schedules accommodate members’ busy schedules.
  • You must adhere to the “Vegas rules” for the meetings: We do not share sensitive or confidential information we hear on the calls with non-members, unless otherwise agreed during the conversation. The recordings are not shared with non-members or the public.

Testimonials from members

“The LMA Digital Club has been an invaluable resource for me over the past several years. I’ve been able to connect with some of the smartest, most forward-thinking people in the media landscape. As a club we share ideas, challenges and solutions that lead to measurable increases in readership and revenue. My only regret about joining LMA Digital Club is that I didn’t do it sooner in my career!”
