About

The Daily Journal Online network reaches a broad, highly engaged regional audience, averaging more than 250,000 monthly page views and 150,000 unique visitors—a digital footprint equal to the entire population of St. Francois County and all surrounding counties.

In addition to the Daily Journal, which is published three times weekly, we publish two weekly print newspapers—The Democrat News and The Farmington Press. Across our platforms, we reach readers where they are, including a combined social media audience of 31,000+ Facebook followers.

Our newsroom delivers verified, local reporting from journalists who live in and care deeply about the Parkland. From breaking news to high school sports to community features, we provide trustworthy coverage readers rely on every day. Our Associated Press connections offer state, national, and global news items for us to share with the Parkland.

For area businesses, we offer a practical and affordable advertising platform backed by decades of industry experience. We understand today’s marketing landscape and use proven strategies to help our partners achieve measurable results.

Every business has a unique story. Our job is to craft a marketing plan that communicates that story clearly—building brand awareness and connecting businesses with customers. We work with companies of all sizes and industries, offering a full suite of digital and print marketing services, including:

* Audience and geographic targeting
* Social media campaigns
* Email marketing
* Online contests and promotions
* Reputation management
* Integrated digital + print advertising solutions

Together, these channels reach 50,000+ readers every week, delivering their message to the right audience at the right time.

For nearly a century, the Daily Journal has upheld the same mission: to be the primary source of local, national, and international news and advertising for Southeast Missouri. Today, that mission continues—stronger and more innovative than ever.

Now under new ownership through Paxton Media Group, a news organization that is more than 170+ agencies strong and includes print publications, television stations, and radio platforms, we are ready to evolve into the next level of news presentation with a stronger focus on local news for local people.
