The growth of My Horry News continued in 1999 when we acquired The Loris Scene, which covers news in the Loris, Longs and Green Sea communities in Northern Horry County. Our news operation continued to see continued growth with the launch of the Carolina Forest Chronicle newspaper on Nov. 1, 2007 and purchase of the Myrtle Beach Herald newspaper in April 2009. Later that year, we launched our newest publication, Visit!, the newspaper for visitors. We also publish the Horry County Business Journal, which is inserted into the Horry Independent, Carolina Forest Chronicle, Loris Scene and Myrtle Beach Herald.
