Our Mission
TEGNA helps people thrive in their local communities by providing the trusted local news and services that matter most. Together, we are building a sustainable future for local news.
Our Values
1. We demand the truth
- We are transparent, communicating openly and plainly.
- We accept nothing at face value, getting to the root cause by “asking five whys” in everything that we do.
- We mine for dissent, debate fearlessly, listen carefully, and come to a higher level of understanding together.
- We 80/20 — focusing on impact, not activities.
We are not a place for people who avoid constructive conflict.
2. We work smarter
- We zero-base every process, asking why do it this way, and why do it at all.
- We are curious about everything that can give us an edge.
- We apply technology, AI, and systems to be more effective and efficient.
- We seek opportunities to take advantage of each other’s work and TEGNA’s scale.
- We 80/20 — focusing on impact, not activities.
We are not a place for people who are uncomfortable with constant change.
3. We do the right thing
- We treat each other with kindness and respect.
- We are inclusive in our hiring and our day-to-day interactions, treating people fairly, regardless of their backgrounds.
We are not a place for mean people or cheats.
4. We win
- We take extreme ownership for our company’s success and profits.
- We are tenacious and resilient.
- We own our outcomes; no excuses
- We expect our team and ourselves to be A+. We give and solicit clear, direct feedback to get better every day; we understand not everyone will cut it at TEGNA.
We are not a place for people who shy away from responsibility and accountability.
