Horry County residents mourned today hearing news of the passing of Waccamaw Publishing and MyHorryNews’ Steve Robertson.
Steve was the impetus behind putting together multiple local news operations under the umbrella of Waccamaw Publishing.
The group manages: MyHorryNews.com, The Horry Independent, The Myrtle Beach Herald, Carolina Forest Chronicle, North Strand News, Loris Scene, News and Shopper, as well as, Visit! Magazine.
Like Steve, the organization was truly local and highly involved in all things Horry County. The business has been in operation for 40 years.
Sympathies were expressed as below across social media.

I was personally highly fond of Steve. His commitment to local journalism was unmatched.
In recent years, Steve turned over operations of Waccamaw Publishing to his son, Steve Robertson Jr.
Steve was a man of high integrity and we mourn with his family at this time.
