The Twin City News is the first local, online-only news source for the cities of Festus and Crystal City, Missouri. We report on the extraordinary people, businesses, events, and news of the Twin City area.

The purpose of the site is to provide local residents with timely news and information relating to the Twin City area. We are also committed to hyperlocal, in-depth reporting on events throughout our communities. Taking advantage of the opportunity that digital publishing offers, we will upload audio, video, and photos of most of the events we cover.

Twin City News was officially launched July 3, 2025.

We believe that through civil discussion, communities grow stronger. We encourage all residents to participate, and only ask that each contributor treat others with respect.

Twin City News is not affiliated with any other news media. It is independently and locally owned and operated.
