Altamont Enterprise & Albany County Post

The Altamont Enterprise & Albany County Post is an independent, award-winning weekly newspaper based in Altamont, New York, with a history dating back to 1884. For more than a century, it has served as a trusted source of information and the official newspaper of record for multiple towns and villages in Albany County, including Guilderland, New Scotland, Berne, Knox, Westerlo, Rensselaerville, Altamont, and Voorheesville. The Enterprise is known for its strong commitment to hyper-local journalism. It prioritizes what it calls “concrete information,” closely covering local government meetings, school board decisions, municipal budgets, and community developments that are often overlooked by larger regional or national outlets. Its stated mission is to find the truth, report it fairly, and provide a forum for an open exchange of ideas. This commitment is captured in its longstanding motto: “We seek the truth and print it.” Published in print every Thursday and updated continuously through its website, the paper remains deeply rooted in the community it serves. It is owned and operated by local journalists Melissa Hale-Spencer (Editor), Marcello Iaia, and Gary Spencer. Beyond traditional reporting, the publication fosters civic engagement through opinion pages, podcasts, and video forums that encourage community dialogue and participation.
