Horry and Georgetown are covered by The Post and Courier Myrtle Beach/Georgetown Times.

The Post and Courier is continuing it’s goal of providing quality news coverage across the Palmetto State by launching into Pee Dee, a region in the northeast corner of the state.

It is loosely defined by counties that touch the Pee Dee River watershed –  Chesterfield, Clarendon, Darlington, Dillon, Florence, Georgetown, Horry, Lee, Marion, Marlboro, Sumter, and Williamsburg.  This rural area of the state has historically been considered a news desert, and the Pee Dee staff is dedicated to changing that.

Tim Matthews, Publisher and Digital Sales Director, said, “The first thing is to let the folks in the Pee Dee know that we are here and committed.  Part of my job is to have the pulse of what’s going on as I go around and talk to local business people. I also want to be part of the community by being involved in the Rotary, the chamber and other local organizations. ”

Matthews’ goal as Digital Sales Director is to develop digital marketing plans for small- and medium-sized businesses that includes advertising on digital platforms like Meta, Google, YouTube and others. As the publisher of the Post and Courier’s Pee Dee news operation, Matthews will represent the organization in the community.
