When it really matters, we know you want news you can count on. The Brownsville States-Graphic, the weekly newspaper for Haywood County published every Wednesday, provides you with local, factual, timely news. That’s why we’re here.
Presenting our hometown with worthwhile information is serious fun. We should know, we’ve been involved with news reporting here since 1978.
On-line readers consider our website www.statesgraphic.com a virtual daily because we add news to the site almost every day, produce a daily newscast you can listen to with the click of a mouse and offer a weekend newscast summarizing the top news stories of the week.
Our goal is to connect the people of Haywood County to the events that define our lives. We share the stories of the people we represent and the journey we’re all on together with integrity and clarity.
We’re a small team here at the Brownsville States-Graphic, but we’ve got a big vision and even bigger hearts for our community.
