The City Wire, re-launched in November 2008, is a media company that covers business, politics and culture in the Fort Smith and Northwest Arkansas regions. News on The City Wire (www.thecitywire.com) also includes statewide business and political news. More than 1.683 million people have visited the website between Nov. 1, 2008 and Dec. 31, 2013, and logged more than 8.248 million pageviews.
As part of the expansion push, The City Wire editor and co-owner Michael Tilley was in late 2011 promoted to TCW Media president, and Patricia Brown was named the chief operations officer.

In addition to providing daily a wealth of news and information, The City Wire also provides a platform for visitors and Registered Users to post info in our Events Calendar, write blogs, post classified ads, post comments — just to name a few of the FREE options available on The City Wire.
