Hyde Media Group has announced its decision to close the Tri-County Reporter. The final issue of the newspaper will be published Thursday, Feb. 27, 2025.
The Tri-County Reporter and its predecessor papers, The Azle News and The Springtown Epigraph, have a long history of reporting the news — including extensive coverage of the seven cities and four school districts in its coverage area, along with the arts, community organizations, infrastructure, recreation, and feature stories about the many interesting people in our communities — in the Springtown, Azle, and most recently, Lake Worth areas.
Unfortunately, business issues facing newspapers nationwide have also affected the Tri-County Reporter. Changes in readership habits, rising costs and stiff competition for advertising dollars no longer allow the paper to operate in a profitable manner.
Subscribers who wish to receive a refund for the unused portion of their subscription may email classified@ tricountyreporter.com and a refund will be issued within 30 days.
Thank you for allowing Hyde Media Group to be a part of your community for the last four years.
Sam Houston
Chief Operating Officer, Hyde Media Group Publisher, The Tri-County Reporter
