Welcome to the first edition of the Palo Pinto Press

According to an ongoing report on the state of local news from Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism, the United States is losing newspapers at the rate of two per week, creating news vacuums in struggling communities. And, in areas without a strong print or digital news organization, voter participation decreases and corruption increases.
Palo Pinto County deserves better and the Palo Pinto Press promises to deliver. We are honored to bring not only a newspaper back to the county, but a website, digital issues and a social media presence as well. So, you have your options – a traditional weekly newspaper to unfold on Fridays with a cup of coffee, going online or checking out our Facebook page.
We promise to deliver the news that matters to you most – local. We’ll report on your communities, your schools, your governments and boards. We’ll keep you updated on your churches, and neighbors and charitable organizations. We’ll let you know about your team’s wins and losses, your hometown heroes, events to fill your schedules, photos to cut out and tape on the fridge, and lifestyle tips for gardening, cooking and living well.
We promise to deliver quality journalism – the facts, news that is fair, balanced and in a constant quest for the truth. We invite your opinions, submissions and suggestions. This is your community newspaper and we wholeheartedly encourage your involvement.
I believe the ultimate test of good journalism is the measure of its public service. Thank you for embracing the launch of the Palo Pinto Press with open arms and unyielding support. In return, we promise to deliver.
