TWT Digital News is a locally owned, independent digital news organization serving communities throughout Upstate South Carolina. Our roots are in The Woodruff Times, founded in 2019 to bring accurate, timely, and meaningful news to Woodruff, Enoree, Cross Anchor, and surrounding communities. Today, we’re building on that commitment through TWT Digital News and The Upstate Times, expanding our reach while keeping local stories at the heart of everything we do.
Our coverage includes municipal and county government, schools, public safety, local businesses, economic development, sports, community events, obituaries, and public notices. We believe hyperlocal journalism matters: the decisions made at town hall, the people making a difference, and the stories that larger news organizations may overlook.
As a digital-first publication, we provide ongoing news coverage through our websites and digital platforms, alongside our weekly digital edition. Although our print newspaper concluded in October 2026, our commitment to the communities we serve has not changed.
We are working toward a network of TWT Community Correspondents in municipalities across the Upstate—including residents who attend local meetings, photograph events, know local businesses, and stay involved in community organizations. We welcome contributions from people who care about their communities, whether or not they have professional journalism experience.
We remain committed to accuracy, fairness, transparency, and responsible reporting. We believe an informed community is a stronger community—and that every town deserves to have its stories told and its history preserved.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to inform, connect, and strengthen communities across Upstate South Carolina through accurate, relevant, fair, and engaging local journalism. We seek to help residents understand the issues that affect their lives, celebrate the people and places that make each community distinct, encourage civic participation, and preserve the region’s stories for future generations.
