After 20 Years Atmore News Ceases Operation, Publishes Final Newspaper

July 3, 2025

With much sadness and much gratitude for your support through the years, we publish our last edition of Atmore News.
We love you all.
God bless you, and God bless Atmore.

With that, Publisher Sherry Digmon ended the lead story in the final edition of the Atmore News that hit the streets on Wednesday.

The Atmore News published their first edition in 2005. Now, 20 years later, they have ceased the locally-owned newspaper’s operation.

Digmon wrote that ”atmore magazine” will continue to be published. The monthly magazine will only be available at advertiser locations.

    Ms. Sherry, Ms. Myrna and the newspaper itself will be missed tremendously in our area. Ms. Sherry ’s reporting was one to be modeled and admired, a style that seems rare by today’s standard. She always presented both sides.and in an unbiased way. Enjoy your retirement! The Baggetts
