About Pontotoc News

Pontotoc News covers news, sports and community life in Pontotoc, Mississippi, and Pontotoc County. Our aim is to give readers useful, clearly sourced information about the places where they live, work and go to school.

Our coverage

Local coverage comes first: schools, high school athletics, community events, public information and developments affecting Pontotoc County. We also publish Mississippi news, sports and weather updates that may matter to local readers. Statewide summaries are identified as statewide coverage; they should not imply that an event occurred in Pontotoc.

Our publisher

Pontotoc News is part of Mississippi News Group, a network of Mississippi news and sports publications. Jon Ross Myers, known professionally as Jon Myers, founded Mississippi News Group in 2013. Read his biography.

How our coverage is prepared

Our publishing includes source-based articles and summaries drawn from public agencies, schools, athletic programs, community organizations and other attributable sources. Some coverage uses AI-assisted research or writing and automated publishing. A published article should not be understood as a claim that a reporter attended the event or interviewed everyone mentioned. Our editorial standards explain sourcing, verification and the role of automation.
