"There's little doubt they are doing it again…these guys really understand the needs of community newspapers with today's digital operations."
"The featured content is from the award-winning and largest collection of user-submitted recipes to AHM's Just A Pinch Recipes," stated Jerry Lyles, Chief Development Officer for AHM. "And the revenues associated with the display of this highly desirable content is significant."
