MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN SOUTH CAROLINA

Publishing in the Palmetto State traces its roots to the colonial era, evolving today into a media market defined by a stark contrast between enduring family ownership and corporate consolidation. The Post and Courier in Charleston stands out as a prominent family-owned daily with a history dating to 1803 and the highest circulation in the region. In the capital city of Columbia, McClatchy operates The State, while Gannett owns The Greenville News, serving the populous Upstate corridor. Beyond traditional dailies, readers rely on influential alternative weeklies like the Charleston City Paper for localized cultural reporting.
