Keeping America's constitutional newspapers alive.

Legal Press is the legal-notices and media platform of Smart Money Media / Inheritance Media Group — the second-largest newspaper company in America by number of newspapers owned, with 314 publications across 221 markets.

We acquired legacy newspapers — federal grandfather papers founded before most state publication laws existed, among them the Hartford Times (1817), the New York Sun (1833), the Jersey Journal (1867), the San Antonio Light (1881), the Dallas Times Herald (1888) and the Chicago American (1900) — and recalibrated them with AI.

Continuity runs through technology: the papers are operational today, publishing daily online, with archives live on the internet.
