Dunlap Media Group’s President Bailey Dunlap has been named to the Editor & Publisher’s 2026 Tomorrow’s News Trailblazers list.
“Tomorrow’s News Trailblazers” is an annual list released by the Editor & Publisher, honoring journalists under the age of 35 who are redefining the industry. Dunlap says the honor is very special personally, but also special to Dunlap Media as a whole as the company continues to grow.
“We’ve worked hard to build modern local media brands that not only inform communities, but truly connect with them across multiple platforms,” Dunlap said. “Having that recognized nationally is encouraging and validates the direction we believe local media is headed.”
Dunlap Media, LLC was founded in 2007 as publisher of GoLaurens.com. Within the last few years, the company has launched two new outlets — GoFountainInn.com in 2024 and GreerNews.com in 2025. Since 2025, the company’s outlets have earned several South Carolina Press Association awards, after nearly 17 years of lobbying for digital outlets to be able to join the organization.
Dunlap joined the team as president in 2023. In his role, he leads all revenue operations, advertising sales and new market development for Dunlap Media. To read additional comments from Dunlap or see the full list of 2026 Tomorrow’s News Trailblazers, visit the Editor & Publisher’s website.
