As the Rocky Mount Telegram approaches its 114th birthday, a band of newsroom alumni have been working on a couple projects to celebrate the paper's long tradition of bringing the news to Twin Counties residents.
This story will be updated when the projects are completed later this year, but for now, read on to learn more about the history of the newspaper and the publishers who had a hand in preserving journalism in Nash and Edgecombe counties for more than a century.
The Rocky Mount Telegram has been covering the Twin Counties for nearly 115 years.
Owned by Adams Publishing Group, the Telegram has won a long string of editorial and advertising awards over the years from the North Carolina Press Association.
