J.W. MISENHEIMER STRENGTHENS CONTENT DEPARTMENT, JOINS SOUTH ARKANSAS NOW
EL DORADO, AR – South Arkansas Now, along with its parent company ArkLaTex Digital, LLC, is excited and proud to announce the addition of J.W. Misenheimer to its content creation department.
J.W. Misenheimer brings with him a wealth of knowledge, experience, and a reputation for exceptional storytelling. His body of work and commitment to integrity have earned him recognition across the region, making his decision to join ArkLaTex Digital a significant milestone for the company.
“Clearly, the addition of someone of J.W.’s caliber, someone who brings with him the knowledge and experience of following a story, means we are about to reach the next level. Like I told him today, when we finished meeting, I couldn’t be more excited about the future of South Arkansas Now,” said B.A. “Sandy” Sanford, President and CEO of ArkLaTex Digital. “He understands the heart of a story and the responsibility that comes with telling it well.”
Grant Merrill, Co-Owner and Content Director for ArkLaTex Digital, echoed that enthusiasm. “He’s a storyteller, plain and simple. His work is, without question, some of the best I have ever seen. His integrity can never be called into question. Frankly, this was a coup for us.” Sanford agreed, saying, “J.W. was being highly sought after and had other offers on the table. We are humbled and proud he chose to join our staff. I really believe our viewers and readers will notice his impact immediately!”
With Misenheimer joining the team, South Arkansas Now continues its commitment to delivering compelling, trustworthy, and community-focused content across the region. His arrival signals an exciting new chapter for the organization as it expands its storytelling reach and editorial depth. At a little more than a year old, South Arkansas Now has taken it’s spot atop the region’s sources for news, weather, sports, local events, and live coverage. “If anyone had told me a year ago that South Arkansas Now would regularly bank 60,000+ unique viewers to the site each month and more than three-quarters of a million views on our social media pages each month, I would have probably laughed and wished it could be true. Yet, here we are! That is purely because we all take our responsibility to this site very seriously.” Merrill said. Misenheimer joins the staff with Merrill, Sanford, and General Sales Manager Jax Sanford, along with various other stringers and part-timers.
J.W. may be best known for his unique and in-depth reporting style he became known for while at Region 10 News. It was there he met his wife, Scarlett Gully Misenheimer. The couple resides in Union County with their son, Kai. J.W. is also owner of Misenheimer Media, a company that focuses on photography and videography for corporate or special events, including weddings, proms, graduations, birthdays, headshots and more. In addition, Misenheimer Media offers graphic design, social media and brand management.
