Dear Readers,
The Appomattox Times is here—a new beacon in journalism, cast in the iron of integrity and the ink of advocacy. We’re here to deliver the unvarnished tales of Appomattox; to tell the stories that pulse through the veins of our streets and homes.
This is your paper, online and in print when it counts, carved out of the bedrock principle that information should be as steadfast as the people it serves. In a world awash with fragmented sound bites, we stand as your bulwark of reason, threading together the local narrative that impacts us all.
Our promise is simple: to be the eyes and ears where you can’t be, to bring the 6:00 pm municipal meetings to your doorstep, to fuel the conversations that drive us forward. We are here to invigorate and empower our community, not just to report on it.
Expect to see us—on your phones, in your feeds—where the buzz of local life lives. The Appomattox Times isn’t just another newspaper; it’s the living chronicle of our shared journey.
The Appomattox Times is more than a newspaper. It is a reflection of our collective spirit and endeavors—a forum that will echo the concerns and celebrations of:
- The mother of three, juggling life’s demands, who still wishes to stay informed.
- The small business owner, whose livelihood is tied to local economic currents.
- The farmer, who contributes to our tables and looks to the community for motivated workers.
- The student whose excitement for local involvement is as insatiable as their quest for wisdom.
We pledge to cover the full spectrum of local life, including:
- Town and County Governance
- Zoning and Planning
- Stories of our first responders
- Commerce and Local Business
- The actions of Federal and State legislators that echo down to our streets
- The triumphs of athletics, the flourish of the arts, the pulse of cultural festivities
We’re not just covering news; we’re stitching the narrative of our existence and preserving the wisdom of our time. Walk with us on this path to deepen our civic dialogue and cement the legacy of our local democracy.
With Resolve,
Nathan Simpson

As a person who has served in DOD for 46 years I applaud you. Defending our nation is not just taking up arms it is also defending the rights of all Americans. The most important way is enshrined in our 1st Amendment, a free press. Challenging those inpower to answer to the people is crucial to the defense of our nation. Godspeed Appomattox Times!
Transparency of the facts they drive our community is extremely important in order to drive togetherness to move our Community forward in a unified manner.
