The Gannett-owned Clarion Ledger in Jackson operates as the primary statewide daily, while the McClatchy-owned Sun Herald provides comprehensive coverage along the Gulf Coast. In the northeast, the Daily Journal in Tupelo operates under unique ownership by a local community foundation, and the Commercial Dispatch in Columbus is firmly family-owned.
