BATAVIA, Ohio — Today marks a new chapter for local news in Clermont County.
Clermont Guardian has officially launched as the sister publication to the highly successful Scioto Valley Guardian, delivering comprehensive, real-time coverage that Clermont County residents have long deserved. With the Guardian family already reaching millions of readers each month across Ohio through fast, engaging digital journalism, this launch brings that same commitment and energy to a news-deprived community.
We’re here to cover it all: breaking news from car accidents and house fires to city council meetings, school board decisions, sporting events, building permits, health inspections, police blotters, free obituaries, and in-depth investigations into how your tax dollars are spent. From the everyday stories that touch families to the bigger issues shaping our future, we’ll be there—cameras rolling for live streams, sending real-time alerts, and following the facts wherever they lead.
Unlike some sources that simply repackage official statements, we prioritize original reporting, transparency, and accountability. We’re not here to take sides—we’re here to uncover and share the truth, because facts stand on their own.
“Clermont County deserves journalism that serves the community first,” said Derek Myers, CEO of the Guardian media outlets. “We’re committed to showing up consistently, asking the right questions, and providing accurate, timely reporting that residents can rely on. Our readers have welcomed this approach elsewhere in Ohio, and we’re excited to bring it home to Clermont County.”
Jason Salley, Regional Vice President of News, added: “From the front row at public meetings to on-the-scene coverage of breaking events, we’ll deliver straight facts with no filter or favoritism. This is about building trust through thorough, unbiased reporting that matters to your taxes, schools, water, and future. Clermont County is getting the local news it’s been waiting for—and we’re just getting started.”
This isn’t just another Facebook page (though yes, we have a Facebook page, too). It’s a dedicated platform built for depth, immediacy, and integrity. We’re here with professional resources, live coverage, and a relentless focus on getting it right.
