The Black Mountain News is a weekly publication dedicated to covering the Swannanoa Valley area.
Located at the home of Billy Graham, Brad Daugherty and Brad Johnson, the newspaper has a circulation of around 4,000.
The newspaper was founded in 1945 by a couple from Illinois and was purchased one-year later by Gordon Greenwood, a local man who served for years as a state legislator from Black Mountain.
Through the years the newspaper has grown from a small 10-page paper with no color to the 32-page four-section newspaper it is today. The Black Mountain News also publishes several special sections each year highlighting community events.
