At The Berkeley Observer, we quite often receive messages from law firms interested in advertising public notices through us. Unfortunately, the laws haven’t quite caught up with the digital times. We are an online news outlet only and have no physical newspaper with general circulation.
⚖️ Know the Law ⚖️
It’s important to understand that:
In South Carolina, official public notices are only legally valid when published in a printed newspaper.
You are welcome to place your notice on our website for a low fee, but this alone does not meet the legal requirements for public notification under state law.
We recommend that any official legal notice also be submitted to a qualified print publication to ensure compliance.
To learn more about the laws regarding public notices, please review this helpful information from the South Carolina Press Association.
