Our Story

Regional newspaper for North Texas and Southern Oklahoma featuring local and national news, sports and information.

Our website uses a metered paywall — a model widely used throughout the news industry. Nonsubscribers can access 7 articles for free each month, and after that there are a number of subscription options — including digital only and print — that provide unlimited access. If you’re seeing a message saying you have to sign up for a subscription it means you’ve already viewed your 7 free articles this month.

We encourage you, as a regular viewer of our content to consider subscribing. It costs money to produce our content — from paying our journalists and office staff to the equipment we use — and subscribers help fund that mission of local journalism.

We also encourage you to share our posts and the links to our website, but ask you not to share the full text of our copyrighted articles. Failure to comply with these rules may result in being blocked from our page.
