Jason Jump

Описание: In this episode, we sit down with Jason Jump, the new owner of the Gyp Hill Premiere, to talk about keeping Barber County’s newspaper strong. We dive into Jason’s background—growing up in Ardmore, Oklahoma, finding his way into journalism, spending time coaching college and high school sports, and eventually returning to newspapers full-time.
Jason shares how he and his business partner started in Kingman, never expecting to grow into owning five (and possibly six) publications, and why he’s passionate about small-town news and open, accurate information. We also talk about what it really takes to produce a weekly paper—covering multiple meetings in a single day with a small staff, the importance of legal notices and local advertising, and why subscriptions and community support matter more than ever.
We wrap up with a discussion on local transparency and big issues like the proposed data center conversations, plus how listeners can support the Gyp Hill Premiere—from buying a weekly copy to subscribing, advertising, or even helping as a citizen contributor with story tips and local coverage.
