Rural Media Partners (RMP) is a parent company focused on acquiring and developing digital media properties in underserved, rural communities. We are a team of media professionals and business leaders with a passion for local journalism and a commitment to serving rural America.

We build a network of local media assets that provide reliable, hyper-local news and information. Our mission is to strengthen communities and give local advertisers an effective way to reach a highly engaged, focused audience

Founded in 2024, RMP was established with a singular vision to combat the decline of local news. Our first asset, Tri-County Compass, is the blueprint for our growth as we begin a new chapter for community media.

RMP is a U.S.-based company, and we will operate in communities across the country. Our first asset, Tri-County Compass, serves the tri-county area in East Texas and are now expanding to surrounding areas.

We believe that strong communities are built on a foundation of local, trustworthy information. Our purpose is to ensure that small towns have the essential media resources they need to thrive, connecting neighbors and supporting local businesses for generations to come.
