That’s more than the WS Journal probably has in the building. Everything is share with Greensboro.
This is what keeps The Mount Airy News publishing 3 times a week. I can remember as a kid it came out twice weekly.
The Mount Airy News
For 140 years, The Mount Airy News has served the people of Surry County as their primary source of news, as well as a guide to satisfy the community’s appetite for goods and services through advertising of local merchants. The Mount Airy News traces its heritage back to 1880, when the first issue was published. The News may be the oldest continuously operated business in Mount Airy, starting as a weekly publication just 15 years after the Civil War concluded. Over those decades, the newspaper grew to publish twice a week, then three times each week, and eventually became a five-day-a-week daily.
The Mount Airy News is a regional printing hub, with several newspapers and other products being printed here, including the weekly newspapers Elkin Tribune The Stokes News, The Carroll News in Virginia, and The Yadkin Ripple.
(All these papers are printed at the Mount Airy location)
