NEWS TIPS 

Got an interesting story, upcoming event, major milestone or significant local happening we should know about? Reach out by calling the newsroom at (478) 272-5522, or email a particular editor or reporter by browsing our news staff directory. See below for department contacts, and instructions for specific submitted items. 

COMMUNITY NEWS

No matter how large or small, The Courier Herald is interested in local and community news, or readers’ awards and achievements. You can let us know what’s going on by sending us a press release with the subject, time, date and location of the event or recognition. Don’t worry, a press release does not have to be professionally written. Just the basic facts are fine. It should be typed and emailed to tchnewsreporter@gmail.com, and include a contact name, phone number and email address in case we have a question. Please identify, in the subject line, the specific person, department or section for which your news is intended.

POLITICAL COVERAGE 

Local political candidates intending to announce a run for election or re-election should contact Senior Reporter Payton Towns III, by phone at (478) 272-5522, ext. 401 or email at tchnewsreporter@gmail.com, to set up an interview BEFORE qualifying for his or her race. 

After fields are set, election preview coverage is limited to a questionnaire that candidates in contested races will receive to complete and return for publication before early voting begins. 

RELIGION DIGEST 

This section, appearing each Saturday, contains information on upcoming special services and events at local churches. Please email submissions to Payton Towns III at tchnewsreporter@gmail.com. 

LOCAL SPORTS 

The Courier Herald’s sports coverage is focused primarily on athletics at Laurens County’s four high schools, through we frequently delve into other noteworthy topics related to local youth leagues, tournaments/events, health/fitness trends, motorsports and the outdoors. Stories tied to college and professional sports are generally limited to subjects or figures with connections to our readership area.

Submissions of game information and story tips are welcome. Contact sports editor Clay Reynolds at (478) 272-5522, ext. 403, or email tchsports77@gmail.com.  

WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENTS 

Wedding announcements are published periodically at no charge, and may be submitted by email to tchnewsreporter@gmail.com or in-person. 

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 

We invite readers to express their thoughts on current issues and local news topics. Email submission is preferred, but letters will also be accepted by mail. Content may be edited for length, clarity, spelling and grammar.

STORY REPRINTS

Visiting the Laurens County Library, which keeps archives of the newspaper on microfilm, is the quickest and least expensive way to conduct research and locate content in our publication from more than a year in the past. 

The Courier Herald’s archives, dating back to January 1944, are stored in bound volumes located in a fireproof vault in our building, and are not open to the public. We will consider, but cannot guarantee reader requests for copies of past stories or photos. We are unable to assist with genealogical research.
