FORTY-SIX Media

As South Carolina enters a consequential political period with the 2026 midterms approaching and as the first state in the nation for the 2028 Democratic presidential primary, The Arena is transitioning to FORTY-SIX Media, a new chapter centered on a sharper focus on South Carolina politics.

Our mission remains the same: to cover the people, elections, policies and governmental decisions that shape the lives of South Carolinians while maintaining our long-standing commitment to factual, fair and accurate reporting.

The Arena provided our foundation. FORTY-SIX Media is our next chapter.
