This month marks the 75th anniversary of the statewide publication of Mississippi’s electric cooperatives.
The first issue of Mississippi Rural Light & Power came out in January 1948. That publication became Rural Electric News in March 1950. The name was changed to Mississippi Rural Electric News in February 1962, and then Mississippi EPA News in October 1963. The name Today in Mississippi arrived in 1990.
The publication was a newspaper for years until Today in Mississippi was transformed into a glossy magazine, debuting its new format with the September 2019 issue.
With a print circulation of close to half a million readers, Today in Mississippi has the largest print circulation of any publication in the state.
