From a humble start in 1970 with just two newspapers, Morris Newspaper Corporation has grown steadily and today owns and operates over sixty five publications in nine states and the Caribbean. These include daily newspapers, non-daily newspapers, arts entertainment weeklies and shoppers. A new emphasis on niche publications in the last decade has led to the growth of a stable of specialty publications ranging from real estate to tourist magazines and military publications. Morris Newspaper Corporation has earned a reputation as one of the best publishers of community newspapers in the United States. Just as importantly, the company has also won the respect of the communities it serves. The company today publishes in California, Kansas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Wisconsin, the U.S. Virgin Islands as well as in its home state, Georgia.
