The Branson Tri-Lakes News is the local newspaper covering Branson, Taney County and Stone County in Missouri, and traces its roots to the oldest publications in Taney County.[2]
Since 2009, it publishes twice a week on Wednesday and Saturday. It used to be published five times a week.
In 1992, the Taney County Republican merged with the Branson Beacon, the White River Leader, and the Southwest Missourian to form the Branson Tri-Lakes Daily News.[3][4] It retained that name until it stopped being a daily newspaper in 2009.[5][6]
The Taney County Republican began publishing in 1895. The Branson Tri-Lakes News recognized 100 years of continuous publication by itself and its various precursors in January 2012.[7]
Branson Tri-Lakes News was acquired by Lancaster Management Inc in November 2013.[8]
The paper also produces several regular special publications, including the monthly entertainment-themed Ozark Mountain Visitor, and Branson This Week. All of its publications, including both editions of the Branson Tri-Lakes News, are full color.

In 2011, the Branson Tri-Lakes News was awarded first place in its class for General Excellence and Best News Content by the Missouri Press Association.[9]
