"The Covington News" is a newspaper serving Covington, Georgia and surrounding Newton County including the towns of Oxford, Porterdale and Social Circle. The newspaper publishes three times per week on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.

History

A newspaper called "The Georgia Enterprise" was first published in 1865, six months after the end of The Civil War, by William L. Beebe. In 1902, this paper merged with its competitor, "The Covington Star", to become "The Enterprise" under the ownership of Charles G. Smith.

"The Enterprise" was sold in 1908 to Lon. L. Flowers, and its name was changed to "The Covington News". The newspaper had a number of owners between 1908 and 1931, when it was purchased by Belmont Dennis and his family. Upon the death of Belmont Dennis in December 1961, his widow became editor and co-publisher with Mrs. Mallard. In 1974 Leo S. Mallard became president and editor.

In 1983, the newspaper was sold to the company’s employees, who owned it for three years. In 1986 it was sold to Morris Multimedia of Savannah, Georgia. "The Covington News" also publishes "The Alcovy Magazine", "The News and Advertiser", and "East Metro Real Estate Today".
