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[1] and is the largest newspaper chain by number of publications in the state.[2]

The chain began in 1963, when Braxton "B.I." Moody III purchased The Rayne Acadian-Tribune and The Church Point News for $100,000.[3][4] The company was incorporated as Louisiana State Newspapers in 1973.[5]

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.[6]
