The stars are aligned for the right person. Publisher openings at Southern Newspapers are rare. That's what makes this opportunity at the Kerrville Daily Times (TX) so special.
The Kerrville Daily Times serves a vibrant and growing community in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, within easy driving distance of Austin and San Antonio — two of the fastest-growing markets in the nation. And did I mention Texas? No state income tax, a fast-growing population, and a strong economy. Things really are bigger in Texas — including this opportunity. The community is highly engaged, and the newspaper is both successful and poised for additional growth.
Who are we looking for? An experienced driver of print and digital revenue, a strong community leader, a talented people person, and someone with a deeply rooted passion for community journalism. What we do matters to the communities we serve. Publisher experience is helpful, but a proven revenue generator with strong leadership skills, boundless energy, and a desire to make a difference will absolutely be considered.
What should you do today? Act — and act now. Opportunities like this don't come along often, and these stars won't remain aligned forever. When we find the right person, we'll move quickly to put them in a position to succeed.
A final note: We offer a competitive compensation package, 401(k), health insurance, paid vacation, and all the benefits you'd expect from a successful organization. We work hard, have fun, and take pride in being a company where publisher opportunities rarely become available.
Act now: Leonard Woolsey, President, Southern Newspapers, Inc., at leonard.woolsey@sninews.com.

Historic Robertson County Newspapers Offered for Sale
Phillips Publishing, LLC is offering its Robertson County, Texas newspaper group for sale, including the Robertson County News, a historic publication with roots dating back to 1893.
The Robertson County News traces its lineage through several historic community publications including the Hearne Democrat, Franklin Advocate (1983, no longer in print), Calvert Tribune (no longer in print), and Bremond Gazetta (no longer in print). The Robertson County News remains the active publication serving the county today.
Phillips Publishing, LLC, led by President Dennis Phillips, has operated the Robertson County newspaper group since 2012, acquiring the publications from Moser Community Media in December 2019, just prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite the challenges faced during the pandemic and personal loss within the ownership family, the newspaper remained stable and continued serving the community.
In February 2023, Teresa Phillips passed away following a battle with colon cancer. While the newspaper remained operational and financially sound through these events, Phillips Publishing has made the decision to transition ownership.
The sale includes the newspaper’s real estate located at: 305 Cedar St., Hearne, Texas
The property sits in the center of downtown Hearne, directly across from City Hall, the Municipal Building, Police Department, and Fire Department, placing the newspaper at the heart of the community it covers.
The building is configured as a 2-bedroom, 1-bath residence with integrated office space, including:
This layout has proven ideal for a publisher-operator or husband-and-wife team, allowing the property to function as both a residence and a working newspaper office.
“The Robertson County News has been rebuilt into a stable, profitable community newspaper,” said Phillips. “It’s difficult to let it go, but Phillips Publishing has expanded into Southeast Texas and continues to grow there. Robertson County is now outside our targeted geographic focus.”
Phillips added that the property and office configuration were originally designed as a combined home and newsroom for him and his wife.
“Someone else is going to benefit from this unique setup located in the center of downtown Hearne.”
The Robertson County News maintains strong relationships with local government agencies, schools, and law enforcement, and enjoys broad community support.
Printing services are currently provided through Center Printing, with a printing contract available for continuation.
