The Franklin Banner-Tribune is a small bi-weekly newspaper which circulates in Franklin, the parish seat of St. Mary Parish, Louisiana.

History

The original newspaper dates to before the American Civil War. From 1950-1965, the Banner-Tribune was edited and published by Robert Angers, who thereafter founded Acadiana Profile magazine. During Angers' tenure, the newspaper was expanded from a weekly to a daily and won a large number of press association awards. Since Allan Von Werder took the helm the paper has struggled and cut back to printing twice a week.
