Starnes Media continues its commitment to local journalism by publishing six distinct monthly newspapers that serve the greater Hoover area. The suite includes the Hoover Sun, Cahaba Sun for Trussville, Village Living for Mountain Brook, Vestavia Voice, Homewood Star, and 280 Living. Each paper is tailored to the interests and concerns of its specific community, offering residents a reliable source for news, events, and human‑interest stories.
Why Multiple Papers Matter
According to the editor’s note, the diversity of these publications reflects the “unique identity each community possesses.” Residents of Trussville, for example, may be more interested in school‑district updates, while Mountain Brook readers often look for coverage of local festivals and property‑tax matters. By delivering content that resonates with each town’s priorities, Starnes Media helps keep citizens informed and engaged.
Community‑Driven Content
The editor invites readers to contribute story ideas, event notices, and profiles of noteworthy locals. Submissions can be sent via email to [email protected]. This open‑call approach encourages a two‑way dialogue between the newspaper staff and the neighborhoods they serve, reinforcing the principle that a well‑informed community is a stronger one.
Supporting Families and Faith
Each publication emphasizes coverage that matters to families—school calendars, local sports, faith‑based events, and civic gatherings. By highlighting the people and places that shape daily life, the papers aim to strengthen the traditional family unit and uphold the values that many residents hold dear.
Looking Ahead
As the 2026 publishing year progresses, Starnes Media plans to expand its digital presence while preserving the print editions that many longtime readers still cherish. The editor’s note underscores a continued focus on delivering honest, local information that respects the constitutional freedoms of speech and press.
For anyone with a story to share—whether it’s a local business opening, a community service project, or a personal triumph—the invitation remains open. By working together, the newspapers and their readers can ensure that the voice of each town remains vibrant and heard.
