Montgomery Advertiser

Our story dates back to the time of President Andrew Jackson. The newspaper first hit the stands in 1829 under the name The Planter's Gazette. In 1833, it changed its name to the Montgomery Advertiser and quickly established itself as the top newspaper in the newly formed Confederate states by 1861. After the Civil War, Major William Wallace Screws, a Confederate veteran, took over as editor and helped elevate the newspaper's influence in Alabama.
