Kimble County's first newspaper began operations in February 1882. Editor J.F. Lewis' Washington Press printed four incarnations of the Junction newspaper: The Western Texan, The Junction City Clipper, The Kimble County Citizen, and the Junction Citizen-Light. In May 1919 a group of businessmen, including Coke R. Stevenson, who was Governor of Texas from 1941 to 1947, formed the Junction publishing company and renamed the paper the Junction Eagle. Though the Eagle has changed hands several times, its mission remains the same. The Junction Eagle continues to serve as a source of information and a chronicle of its times.
