The New progress

In 1884, The Chase City Clipper began serving the citizens of Chase City and the surrounding area. Four years later, the paper was purchased and renamed the Chase City Progress. Over the years, the paper has expanded and today-as The News Progress-the paper covers Mecklenburg County, Virginia and the surrounding areas. Communities covered by the News Progress include Chase City, Clarksville, Boydton, South Hill, La Crosse and Brodnax. 

A community paper, The News Progress features news coverage on events of area interest including news from local governments, crime, courts, public events, churches, social news and events as well as area schools and sports plus features of interest from around the area. The News Progress and its staff take great pride in being the hometown paper and in having served Southside Virginia longer than any other publication. Our mission is to build on that history and tradition by continuing to serve our readers and advertisers with complete, fair, and accurate news and information they can depend on
