About Rural News Wire

Rural News Wire is a network of local morning news digests for small-town America, founded and written by Ty McDuffey, a former rural newspaper editor (Big Horn County News, Big Timber Pioneer).

Each town in the network gets its own daily email: local government, schools, weather, road projects, and business news, gathered every morning and told straight in a five minute read. Our flagship is The Mile Marker, the daily digest for Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, where Ty's family has lived and built for generations.

Local coverage keeps shrinking. Papers close, and town news scatters across Facebook groups, radio hits, and county PDFs. Rural News Wire exists to gather it back up, one town at a time.

Every digest is free. Local sponsors keep the lights on, and sponsors are always labeled. Corrections run; reply to any morning digest and a real person reads it.

Want your town covered? Email ty@ruralnewswire.com and tell us where you are.
