Mineral Wells Index
The Mineral Wells Index was a daily newspaper published in Mineral Wells, Texas, on weekday afternoons and Sunday mornings. The Index coverage area included Palo Pinto County, Texas. It is owned by Community Newspaper Holdings Inc.
Amid large revenue losses associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, it published its last issue in May 2020 and merged with sister CNHI newspaper Weatherford Democrat, located about 20 miles away. The Index newsroom had shrunk by 50% over the last 16 years as part of a decadeslong trend of newspaper decline nationwide.
