About Us

The Post and Courier, the South's oldest daily newspaper, traces its roots to The Courier , founded in 1803, and The Evening Post , founded in 1894. In 1926, the two newspapers were drawn closer together when The Courier, which had then become The News and Courier , was purchased by The Evening Post Publishing Company.Both newspapers maintained separate news staffs until the 1980s, when those staffs were combined. In 1991, when it became apparent that reading habits were better served by a single edition of the newspaper - a morning edition - the two papers were merged to become The Post and Courier.

Evening Post Publishing Co. is a privately held information and marketing company headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina. Subsidiaries of the company include television stations in California, Colorado, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, and Texas; daily and weekly newspapers in South Carolina, North Carolina and Texas. Internationally, the company owns the Solo Syndicate, LTD. in London, England. The company also owns and manages timberland in South Carolina through White Oak Forestry Company.
