TEXARKANA — The team behind TXKtoday, Texarkana’s leading local news source, is expanding its coverage footprint with the launch of Arkansas Breaking News — a new digital news outlet dedicated to delivering timely, accurate reporting from every corner of the Natural State.
Arkansas Breaking News goes live as a free, publicly accessible news website covering breaking stories, crime, courts, education, agriculture, travel, and more from communities across all 75 Arkansas counties.
Expanding Beyond Texarkana
For years, TXKtoday has served the Texarkana metro area with hyperlocal news coverage spanning crime, business, sports, and community events on both the Texas and Arkansas sides of the state line. The launch of Arkansas Breaking News is a natural next step — bringing that same commitment to fast, reliable reporting to readers across the entire state of Arkansas.
“We’ve always covered stories that matter to people in our region, and a lot of those stories come out of Arkansas,” said Field Walsh, founder of TXKtoday. “With Arkansas Breaking News, we’re able to reach readers statewide and cover the stories that local communities depend on.”

Filling a Gap in Arkansas News Coverage
The launch of Arkansas Breaking News comes at a time when local journalism across the country continues to face challenges. Many communities in Arkansas have seen reduced coverage from legacy media outlets, leaving gaps in the kind of day-to-day reporting that residents rely on to stay informed about public safety, government, and community events.
Arkansas Breaking News aims to help fill that gap by aggregating and reporting on stories from sources including the Arkansas State Police, federal agencies, local law enforcement, school districts, and state government — ensuring that stories from smaller communities receive the same attention as those from Little Rock, Fort Smith, or Fayetteville.
Since going live, the site has already published coverage on stories ranging from missing person advisories and federal court sentencings to agricultural policy changes affecting Arkansas farmers and historical preservation efforts honoring the state’s civil rights legacy.
A Growing Digital News Network
The addition of Arkansas Breaking News alongside TXKtoday creates a growing regional digital news network based right here in Texarkana. Together, the two sites provide continuous coverage of the Texarkana metropolitan area, Southwest Arkansas, and now the broader state of Arkansas.
