The Sweetwater Reporter is a newspaper based in Sweetwater, Texas, covering the Nolan County area of West Texas. Owned by Horizon Publications Inc., it publishes an evening paper six days a week, Sunday through Friday.
The newspaper was founded in 1881, the same year as its city and county, as the Sweetwater Advance, by Charles Edwin Gilbert, founder of the nearby Abilene Reporter. It later published as the Nolan County Review and became the daily Reporter in 1911 under publisher John W. Millsaps and his partner W.A. Perry.[2] In 1930, it was purchased by Harte-Hanks, who sent publisher Millard Cope to run the paper.[3]
