Newspaper in Tyron, North Carolina
Tryon Daily Bulletin is an American, English language daily newspaper based in Tryon, Polk County, North Carolina; it also serves parts of Spartanburg and Greenville counties in South Carolina.[1]
History
Known as "The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper", it was established in 1928 by Seth Vining Sr.[2][3] It had a readership of 4,250 in 2019 and its website had 30,000 visitors.[4]
Jeff Byrd purchased the paper in 1989[5] and sold it in 2010 to Boone Newspapers Inc. of Tuscaloosa, Ala.[6]
Its offices are housed in the Bank of Tryon Building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[7][8]
The paper doesn't carry any wire stories; as its publisher, Jeff Byrd, said in 1993, "It's all local. It's a community paper. That's what people want here."[5] It features columns from 15 local residents, reader photos, a large letters to the editor section and a community calendar.[1]
