'''Sightline Media Group''', formerly '''Gannett Government Media''' and '''Army Times Publishing Company''', is a United States company that publishes newspapers, magazines, websites, and other publications about the U.S. and other militaries.
 
The company's ''Military Times'' group publishes four bimonthly newspapers aimed at current and former U.S. military personnel: ''[[Army Times]]'' (founded 1940), ''[[Navy Times]]'' (founded 1951), ''[[Air Force Times]]'' (founded 1947), and ''[[Marine Corps Times]]'' (founded 1999). It also publishes ''[[Defense News]]'' (founded 1986), ''[[C4ISRNET]]'' and ''[[Federal Times]]''.
 
Its defunct publications include ''[[Armed Forces Journal]]'', founded in 1863, which was the nation's longest-running defense-themed publication until it ceased publication in 2014.
