The
Anderson Independent-Mail celebrated its 100th
year of service to the Anderson, S.C.
community in 1999. It started in 1899 when
G. Pierce Brown began publishing the afternoon
Anderson Daily Mail. Later, Wilton E. Hall,
who had started the morning Anderson Independent,
bought the Daily Mail and published both newspapers
for more than 40 years. Harte-Hanks Communications
bought the newspapers in 1972 and later combined
them as the Independent-Mail. In 1997, The
E. W. Scripps Company bought the Independent-Mail,
which continues to be the leading daily newspaper
serving northwest South Carolina and northeast
Georgia. The staff has won three National Headliner
Awards in the 1990s and consistently wins state
and national awards for news, sports and lifestyle
reporting, along with advertising awards. In
1996, it became the first South Carolina newspaper
to develop a web site.
