Very happy to make this announcement! Welcome The Hamilton Herald-News to the Granite Phamily!

📰 A New Chapter for the Hamilton Herald-News!

We’re excited to announce that Granite Media Partners has acquired the Hamilton Herald-News, beginning an exciting new chapter for a newspaper that has proudly served Hamilton and the surrounding communities for generations.

The Hamilton Herald-News becomes the 12th community newspaper in the Granite Media Partners family. GMP specializes in owning and growing community newspapers in central and south Texas, with a focus on strong local journalism, community involvement, and expanding digital opportunities while preserving the importance of a quality printed newspaper.

Granite Media Partners owner and CEO Daniel Philhower also has a personal connection to Hamilton. Daniel is a local landowner here in Hamilton and looks forward to spending more time in the community as the Herald-News becomes part of the Granite family.

We’re also very excited to introduce Mark Henry as the new Publisher of the Hamilton Herald-News! Mark brings an incredible 46 years of newspaper experience to Hamilton and will lead the Herald-News as we work to strengthen the newspaper, grow its connection with the community, and build for the future.

Our commitment is simple: Hamilton deserves a strong local newspaper. One that celebrates our students, schools and businesses; covers our local governments; tells the stories of our neighbors; preserves our community’s history; and gives Hamilton County a strong local voice.

📬 Be sure to pick up next week’s edition of the Hamilton Herald-News to learn more about Granite Media Partners, meet Mark and Daniel, and hear more about what we have planned for the future of your hometown newspaper.

And if you’re not already a subscriber, now is a great time to subscribe! Supporting your local newspaper helps support local journalism and ensures the Hamilton Herald-News will continue telling Hamilton’s stories for generations to come.

We’re excited to be here, Hamilton. The next chapter starts now! 📰
