The Cassville Democrat is a weekly newspaper located in Cassville, Missouri, the county seat of Barry County, Missouri. It has a weekly circulation of about 5,000 and has been published continuously since its founding in 1871. The newspaper's motto is "Covering Barry County like the morning dew since 1871." Its general manager is Lisa Craft and Kyle Troutman serves as editor. The Cassville Democrat focuses on local issues and news and has little national or international coverage. While the Cassville Democrat is located in the town of Cassville, its coverage extends across Barry County to most of the smaller towns and hamlets that do not have any independent traditional news services. In addition, it has not been alone in its local news coverage, as for a nearly 20-year period between 1967 and 1984, there were no less than three weekly newspapers operating out of Cassville, a town with a population of less than 3,000, and providing coverage to people across the county. Of those two competing papers, the Cassville Republican and the Barry County Advertiser, only the Barry County Advertiser continues to this day, with the 106-year-old Republican closing in 1984. As the names signify, during their prime, the Cassville Democrat espoused and promoted the views of the Democratic Party while the Cassville Republican did the same for the Republican Party, creating a fierce political climate in the small town. Since that time, the Cassville Democrat has shred its former political affiliation and instead focuses on being the primary local news source. More information...
