Established in 1972, The News is a leader in the field. Featuring local news coverage, community, social, school and church events, The News takes pride in carrying on the tradition of a true "hometown" weekly newspaper.

We are dedicated to providing a quality product that informs our readers while helping businesses with all of their advertising needs, including print and digital.

But we need your help to improve our continued coverage of COVID-19. We hope you can help us with the improvements by participating in our Voluntary Pay program.
