Bluffton Today, a new daily newspaper serving Bluffton, S.C., and owned by Morris Publishing Group, the newspaper publishing arm of Morris Communications Co., has debuted. The announcement was made by Morris Publishing Group President and CEO William S. Morris IV and Bluffton Today Publisher Larry G. Miller. The tabloid-size newspaper will have an initial circulation of 16,500 and be distributed free to every home in the greater Bluffton, S.C., area and in racks throughout the area. Bluffton Today will also be the vehicle for an innovative experiment in newspaper and Web publishing, with much of the content being user-driven.

Those responses will then be edited and printed in the hard copy of the newspaper.
