2025 marks the 80th anniversary of serving Bandera—the Cowboy Capital of the World—and the surrounding communities with trusted local news. Since 1945, we've been proud to bring you the stories that matter most, and it’s your readership and support that have allowed us to continue this remarkable legacy. Over the years, the tools and methods for creating and delivering the news have evolved significantly. The darkrooms of the past have given way to digital photography, and electronic media now plays a vital role in how we consume information. With advancements in technology like artificial intelligence, newspapers are also considering how these innovations may shape their future.
Despite these changes, one thing has remained constant: the importance of the people who bring the news to life. Reporters continue to seek out stories with objectivity, editors make principled decisions about what headlines deserve prominence, and the entire team works to deliver the news promptly and accurately. Just as importantly, we rely on you, our readers, to guide us—sharing your perspectives and pointing out the stories that matter most to our community.
As we celebrate 80 years of local coverage, we’re excited to keep bringing you the journalism you trust—whether you prefer a newspaper in hand or on a screen.
