Straus Publishing

Straus News, also operating under the name Straus Publishing, is a news organization based in the United States of America. Its core activities include the creation and distribution of news content for printed publications. The organization also manages advertising sales, handling the placement and fulfillment of ads within its newspapers. In addition, it oversees billing processes related to both subscription revenues and advertising invoices. These functions collectively support the production and financial sustainability of its news products.

In March 2023, Straus News experienced a ransomware attack that disabled systems essential for content production, advertisement management, and billing. Staff responded by manually reconstructing publications for more than a month while simultaneously rebuilding servers and replacing compromised hardware and software. Shortly after restoring normal operations, a fire at the organization's primary printing plant required it to secure alternative printing facilities. This necessitated the weekly transportation of printed papers from a distant location, increasing logistical costs. Despite these disruptions, the newsroom maintained continuous publication and did not miss any scheduled distribution deadlines. The incidents highlighted the organization's operational resilience and ability to sustain service under adverse conditions.
