Louisiana State Newspapers

Louisiana State Newspapers, Inc. is a privately held chain of 23 local newspapers in the U.S. state of Louisiana, mostly in the Acadiana region. It is based in Lafayette and is the largest newspaper chain by number of publications in the state.
The chain began in 1963, when Braxton "B.I." Moody III purchased The Rayne Acadian-Tribune and The Church Point News for $100,000. The company was incorporated as Louisiana State Newspapers in 1973.
The company operates combined news websites in the parishes where it has more than one newspaper: Acadia Parish, Avoyelles Parish, Evangeline Parish, St. Mary Parish, and Vermilion Parish.
Moody died in 2023 at age 97. The Moody College of Business Administration and Moody Hall at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette are named after him.
