Help promote SCPublicNotices.com
When public notices reach the public, everyone benefits.
S.C. newspapers have launched a website where people can search for public notices published by newspapers across the state.
There’s no better way to notify the public of government and court actions than through the combination of S.C. newspapers and SCPublicNotices.com – the permanency of print paired with the accessibility of a statewide, searchable site.
The site, which launched in August 2018, is a central repository of virtually all public notice/legal ads that run in printed S.C. newspapers. Ads are searchable by keyword, type of notice, date and location. Notices will remain on the site indefinitely.
Now is the time to help us promote this great resource to our state’s citizens and businesses. We’ve created some print and digital ads designed to direct South Carolinians to the site.
“We’re grateful to the members for their support and participation in this vital project that will help increase the public’s right to know,” said Bill Rogers, SCPA Executive Director. “Newspapers are the best vehicles for public notices because of their reach and ability to offer publication in an independent entity that cannot be altered, removed or changed. This site is a valuable add-on where ads are uploaded to a single, searchable site that’s updated daily.”
The service is provided by S.C. newspapers at no cost to taxpayers.
Most statewide press associations offer similar public notice sites. SCPA worked with the Illinois Press Association to create the Palmetto State’s site.
