About Us

The Jonesboro Sun is Northeast Arkansas' regional newspaper serving over 80,000 readers. The Sun is owned by Paxton Media Group of Paducah, Kentucky.

The Jonesboro Sun has a history that dates back more than a century.

The paper was owned by the Troutt family for almost 100 years and by a subsidiary of The Paxton Media Group since Oct. 1, 2000.

W.O. Troutt left his home near Paducah, Ky., in 1884 and a few weeks later wound up on a farm north of Jonesboro. He later moved to Brinkley and joined a vaudeville troupe, learning to take photographs while working as a stagehand. He ended up in the Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) and made his living taking photographs of Indian families.
