While the River Valley Democrat-Gazette name is new, our news team telling stories within the River Valley is not. We have been reporting stories in River Valley communities from Fort Smith to Clarksville for years.
Leland Barclay and our sports team cover River Valley prep sports from pre-season to playoffs with game stories, previews, features, and a video podcast.
Our features department writes about things to do in What’s Up, River Valley, which can be found in the print and digital replica of the Sunday River Valley Democrat-Gazette. It is also available in many businesses on Garrison and Rogers Avenue. You will find several of our publications such as Ozark Living, our lifestyle magazine powered by real estate agencies and agents; La Prensa Libre devoted to the growing Hispanic community; and Official Kids Mag, which tells the stories of local kid heroes and provides a resource for teachers and parents alike.
We are also expanding our news, sports, and advertising/marketing services in the region. Our office is located on Court Street in Ft. Smith nestled between the Fort Smith Regional Chamber of Commerce and the main downtown branch of First National Bank of Fort Smith. Our objective is to create economic lift and overall promotion of the River Valley while engaging the community in celebrating the places, restaurants, and local businesses that make the River Valley unique.
