“We believe in the importance of local news,” shares Greenville Managing Editor Ryan Gilchrest. “Stories that provide context and promote a greater understanding of issues are essential in a time when misinformation can run rampant. We’ll strive to be compelling and informative, substantive and explanatory.”
“Greenville is among the top economic engines for state of South Carolina, the news we bring forward from a business standpoint driving that economic engine is of value to the people of Greenville and beyond,” according to President and Publisher P.J. Browning.
Pierre Manigault Chairman of the Board of Directors for Evening Post Industries, the parent company of The Post and Courier, shares, “This is not about money; this is about going out and serving the whole state with good journalism.”
Evening Post Industries CEO John Barnwell said, “Moving to other parts of South Carolina is a natural progression for us, moving across the entire state makes perfect sense. We have an excellent brand and having the ability to create content that is locally sourced in each of the areas we serve is going to be well received, particularly as we feel like we have a better product than anyone else does.”
The Post and Courier is a family owned newspaper founded in 1803, the oldest in South Carolina and the second oldest in the U.S. With 82 journalists and photojournalists on staff, they remain the largest news organization in the state. In 2015, they were awarded their second Pulitzer Prize. The paper has been a Pulitzer finalist five times.
