The North Georgia News is one of the highest-circulation weekly newspapers in North Georgia.[2] It covers Blairsville, Georgia, and Union County.
The newspaper launched in 1909. Its first publisher was F.A. Miller.[3]
The North Georgia News was preceded by the Blairsville Free Press which was started by J.A. Butt Jr., and The Blairsville Herald which was published by Quillian & Wellborn. Both newspapers began in 1892 and ceased publication in an unknown year.[4] [5]
From 2001 until 2012, the North Georgia News faced competition from the Union Sentinel. Today the North Georgia News is the only newspaper printed in the county.[6] [7]
