The People-Sentinel

The People-Sentinel is a for-profit news organization that has served Barnwell County since 1852. We are now expanding into two neighboring rural South Carolina counties, Allendale and Bamberg counties. Our mission is to provide factual, unbiased and accurate reporting to keep our communities informed while holding public officials accountable. In addition to our weekly print newspaper, our website, videos, social media and podcasts keep our community informed.

Current Position

Location: Barnwell, South Carolina

Beat: Rural communities in Lowcountry, South Carolina

Position:

Rural communities, like the three counties we serve, face challenges with sufficient healthcare, quality education, transparent government and high crime rates. These challenges are largely caused by a lack of resources and knowledge. The rural communities reporter examines these and other issues that deeply affect the lives of the people who live in the region. Informing citizens about these issues should lead to positive changes in our communities.
