What’s new in the Palmetto State? Read our ‘This Week in South Carolina’ newsletter

The State has spent the last year broadening our coverage of the Palmetto State. We added reporters based in Charleston, Greenville and Myrtle Beach to bring you, our readers, everything you need to know about what’s going on beyond the Midlands.

Now, we have a new newsletter, This Week in South Carolina, that puts all of these stories in one place. Want to know what’s going on in the Grand Strand? The Upstate? The Lowcountry? This newsletter will bring you the very best of our coverage.

I’m Chase Karacostas, and I report on tourism and business here in South Carolina for The State and The Sun News in Myrtle Beach. I write This Week in South Carolina. It goes out every Friday afternoon. You can read our first edition, from April 9, here.

Along with coverage from the State, This Week in South Carolina includes stories from the Hilton Head Island Packet, the Myrtle Beach Sun News and the Rock Hill Herald. In this newsletter, you’ll see stories like how slave-supporter and U.S. Sen. John C. Calhoun’s enduring legacy affects Charleston, or how the intense real estate market in Myrtle Beach might be crowding out low-income tourism industry workers.
