It servesTexarkana and surrounding areas.It was acquired through the consolidation of several newspapers in 1933 through the efforts of the
Iowa -born businessmanClyde E. Palmer . Palmer established a newspaper and radio station chain that reached into Hot Springs, Camden, Magnolia, and Stuttgart. In 1952, Palmer acquired the television station KCMC which becameKTAL-TV in 1961. It serves both Texarkana and Shreveport.Palmer's "Texarkana Gazette" still circulates in Bowie, Red River, Morris, Marion, Titus, and Cass counties in Texas and Miller, Little River, Hempstead, Nevada, Howard, Sevier, Pike and Columbia counties in Arkansas. Newspapers are also delivered into McCurtain County in the southeastern corner of
Oklahoma and into northernCaddo Parish inLouisiana .The "Texarkana Gazette" has more than 130 employees and some 120 independent carriers that deliver newspapers in a 60-mile
radius . The average circulation is about 34,000 daily. The previous afternoon daily, the "Texarkana Daily News", ceased publication in 1978.Palmer determined that the key to newspaper success was (1) the readers, (2) the advertisers, (3) the employees, (4) the creditors, and (5) the stockholders, in that order.
