Mount Airy had two newspapers until around 1980, when the weekly Mount Airy Times was bought by the News. In 2007, the city again had two papers with The Messenger and The Mount Airy News. However, after attempting several different publication schedules, The Messenger closed less than three years later, shutting its doors in 2010.
"The Mount Airy News" was published seven days a week. On April 9, 2012, The News ceased publication of its Monday edition. The paper now publishes Tuesday thru Sunday.
