Caldwell Journal

Caldwell Journal The Caldwell Journal...A community newspaper serving the Caldwell County, North Carolina area. We have done all of this with a very small staff.

The Caldwell Journal is a locally owned and operated news publication based in Granite Falls, North Carolina. The Caldwell Journal began as the Granite Falls Journal in October of 2010. We decided to change our name due to our new emphasis on providing news from all over Caldwell County. For the past five years we have enjoyed getting to know the people in the community. We have shared many good n

ews stories, made many new friends and business partners. The staff consists of the husband and wife team of Mark and Merri Lee Jackson. While Mark spends most of his time working on the paper…you will find Merri Lee working as an Interventionist/Bus Driver at Granite Falls Elementary School and the rest of her time working on the paper. Merri Lee (Franklin) Jackson graduated from South Caldwell High School in 1985. However we cannot take all of the credit. We would not be this successful without our faithful advertisers, loyal readers and the countless people that have shared stories, ideas, local events and encouragement with us. Please always feel free to send us your good news which includes news, event information, public service announcements, Church happenings, human interest stories, school news, business news, Town news, Police Department news, Fire Department news, photos, press releases, etc. Also, please forward this announcement to your family, friends, co-workers, etc. (Managers and Principals please forward this announcement to all of your staff.) You’ll find us eagerly offering the same content that you have become accustomed to.…just to a larger area! If you have any questions and/or suggestions, please feel free to ask. Keep checking back with us for updates…

On October 2, 2014, we became the Caldwell Journal! Thank You – Mark & Merri Lee Jackson
