The McDowell News is an English language newspaper published daily in Marion, North Carolina, United States, covering McDowell County. The newspaper is a member of the North Carolina Press Association.[2]

History

The newspaper was owned by Media General[5] until it was sold to Berkshire Hathaway's subsidiary BH Media Group in 2012.[6][7][3]

Lee Enterprises bought BH Media Group's publications in early 2020.[8][9]
