Arkansas Times announces leadership changes


Austin Bailey, formerly editorial director of the Arkansas Times, has been promoted to editor-in-chief, replacing Lindsey Millar, who has been editor of the Times since 2011. Bailey is the first woman to lead the newsroom in the publication’s nearly 50-year history. 

Millar will continue as a contributing editor, but is leaving to pursue a career in woodworking. 

Bailey, 47, joined the Times in 2021. Previously she was editor of World Ark, Heifer International’s magazine, and a reporter at the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, the Pocono Record in Pennsylvania and the Rocky Mount Telegram in North Carolina. She is a graduate of the University of North Carolina and a native of Asheville, North Carolina.

Stephanie Smittle, previously managing editor, has been promoted to editorial director and will be the monthly magazine’s top editor while Bailey devotes much of her focus to arktimes.com. Smittle, 42, joined the Times in 2016 as the entertainment editor. She’s a native of Cave Springs and a graduate of Hendrix College.

Hardy, 38, is a native of Ozark and a graduate of Hendrix College. 

The Arkansas Times will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2024.

Man, 25, fatally shot in southeast Arkansas | Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette


The Arkansas State Police is investigating a Sunday homicide that took place about 9 miles from the state’s southeast corner, the agency announced Monday.

Around 8:15 p.m. Sunday, a Eudora Police Department officer on patrol heard what sounded like gunshots, according to a report.

The officer responded and was flagged down by witnesses who reported that Jamarion Plummer, 25, had been shot at his home in the 1000 block of North Main Street.

Plummer was taken to Chicot Memorial Medical Center, about 15 miles to the north, in a private vehicle. He was later transferred to UAMS Medical Center in Little Rock, where he died from his injuries at approximately 11:30 p.m. Sunday.
