    Boyd, Vickey

    Publisher, (843) 958-7480, vboyd@moultrienews.com

    Vickey Boyd is a country girl raised on butterbeans, sunshine and tomatoes.She grew up playing in the woods and fields with three brothers.A good day on the farm was when she came home to dinner covered in dust and dirt. A bad day was spent in the steamy tobacco fields. Hey, anybody got a plate of butterbeans, fried chicken, with sliced tomatoes and cucumbers? She'll be right over. And right after dinner she can be found around town telling everyone to "read all about it" in East Cooper's very own weekly paper!

    Witte, Sully

    Witte, Sully

    Editor, (843) 958-7482, editor@moultrienews.com

    Sully Witte is a Lowcountry girl who believes that salt water cures everything - sweat, tears and the sea. When not working, she can be found on the boat or the dock teaching her eight year old daughter Reeves about the wonders of our coastal paradise. When not playing in the pluff mud she's bee bopping around town, interviewing our illustrious mayor and council members about various town projects. If you see her with a stack of papers as tall as her torso, she's on her way to the office to sift through the ever growing number of weekly police reports which almost always crack a smile on the face of Moultrie News Police Blotter fans. Very rarely will you ever catch her without her phone stuck to her ear and a pair of stillettos on her feet. Ms. Sully Witte has mastered the art of balance - fashionably, personally and professionally.

    Parker, Penny

    Parker, Penny

    News, (843) 958-7484, news@moultrienews.com

    Penny Parker is a native Charlestonian who has made Mount Pleasant her home for the past 25 years. As the mother of two sons, this non-athlete has been to more sporting events than she’d like to count. Now that she no longer has a child playing sports, Penny has turned her attention to cheering for the USC Gamecocks, Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons and FC Barcelona. The thrill of competition even takes over when she’s watching the small screen and she has been known to commandeer all the phones in the house to vote on her favorite contestant on "Dancing with the Stars." Tagged "a Snoop Sister" by her mother at an early age, Penny’s been a newspaper person off and on since college and just loves to be in the know.

    Heffernan, Tyler

    Heffernan, Tyler

    News, (843) 958-7483, theffernan@moultrienews.com

    Tyler Heffernan is an easygoing Wilmington, N.C. transplant who figures he'll fit in just fine in the Lowcountry. You can find him with a notepad and pen in hand around town, led by his sometimes-trusty GPS--to the delight of his loyal Eye of the Tyler readers. For whatever reason, he's chosen the career path of giving up Friday nights to cover all the high school athletic action readers can handle. He'll stick an audio recorder in the faces of sweaty players and coaches to give you the inside scoop. But, he wouldn't have it any other way. What's a weekend without that anyway? Tyler's passion turned from athlete to sports reporter when he realized he couldn't dart down the field for a touchdown, swish a few 3-pointers and make birdie putts all on the same day. Now he gets to bounce around fields, courts and courses in the East Cooper area covering kids that do just that.

History

    At the Moultrie News, we take pride in our staff of trained and dedicated professionals.

    We work tirelessly to provide the East Cooper area with quality informative reporting on local events with knowledge, perspective and compassion. We also value our advertising customers. That's why for the second year in a row, the Moultrie News has partnered with the Mount Pleasant Business Association as an example of our unwavering support for East Cooper's wavering businesses.
    The Moultrie News was started in 1964 as a tabloid shopper by Carl Meynardie, who was the publisher of the Hanahan News.
    He ran the little paper for eight years. In 1972 the Moultrie News was bought by Charles Diggle and J.C. Long. At the time Diggle was publisher of several small papers. When Long died in 1987, Charles Diggle bought the Beach Company's interest in the Moultrie News, and the Diggle family ran the paper for 11 years before selling it to the Evening Post Community Publications Group. Vickey Boyd was named publisher in April 2002.

    At The Moultrie News, we believe media marketing should not be difficult.
