Hobbs News-Sun

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hobbs News-Sun is a daily newspaper published Tuesday through Sunday in Hobbs, New Mexico, featuring news, sports and other features of interest to readers in Lea County.

The News-Sun was the result of a merger between two of the many local newspapers that appeared in Hobbs in the 1930s, following the region's oil boom at that time. Competition fell away until only the News-Sun and the Hobbs Flare remained.

The Flare was sold to the News-Sun in the 1990s after the death of Flare publisher Agnes Kastner-Head, and closed shortly thereafter.
