Description: In the early ’90s the weekly Branson Beacon became the Branson Tri-Lakes Daily News. It’s not really a daily, since it publishes Wednesdays and Saturdays. Each Wednesday the newspaper prints a local calendar of events covering area organizations and their meeting dates and times. The newspaper’s primary focus is local topics, including government, the courts, schools, and, of course, entertainment. Each issue features a section on religion, business, education, or lifestyles, rotating throughout the week. Local columnists generally steer away from controversial topics, and editorials rarely take unpopular positions on community issues.In addition to the newspaper, Tri-Lakes Newspapers, Inc. publishes the monthly Ozark Mountain Visitor tabloid, which is distributed locally in racks. The free publication includes feature stories on the music shows, restaurants, and attractions. The Branson Tri-Lakes Daily News office is located 2 miles south of Branson in the Hollister Industrial Park. The average Sunday circulation for the paper is around 12,500. The paper is distributed in racks and to subscribers through the mail.
