Bolivar Herald-Free Press

The Bolivar Herald-Free Press holds the title of the oldest continuously operating business in Polk County, Missouri. This publication was formed in November 1969 through the merger of the Bolivar Herald, Bolivar Free Press, and Polk County Times. The Free Press's origins trace back to 1868, while the Herald started its journey in 1871 and the Times launched in 1966. As the main newspaper for the county seat, the Bolivar Herald-Free Press has received numerous accolades for its outstanding work since the merger, including seven prestigious Missouri Press Gold Cups, the highest honor given to member newspapers by the Missouri Press Association. Each time they receive an award, the staff emphasizes that the most important judges are the readers and advertisers who support the newspaper.
