he Leadership at Parker County
Today magazine is excited to
announce that Managing Editor
Misty Browning will become the
magazine’s Associate Publisher.
“We are so happy to have Misty
on board at this level with the maga-
zine,” Publisher Marsha Brown said.
“She is a great asset to the maga-
zine, to me personally, and to every-
one who works with her on a daily
basis. The fact that we have grown
to the point that we have the need
for this position in the magazine
speaks volumes about the success
of PCT and about the growth of
Parker County. Clearly, not only
has the county grown rapidly since
the magazine’s inception in 2005
but the majority of those who are
moving to Parker County are read-
ers who see the value in buying a
magazine like Parker County Today.
People don’t buy magazines unless
they want to read them.”
Browning has been with PCT
for more than two years and brings
years of experience in journalism,
both social media communications aspect,
management and editorial to her new role.
Browning holds a Bachelors of Science in
Communications with a Minor in Marketing
and a Master’s of Communication from Tarleton
State University, where she graduated at the top
of her class.
Browning also has been published in numer-
ous publications, including her two academic
studies; Small Business and Social Media: A
Exploratory Case Study of Companies in Rural
America and And When Fake News Travels
Faster Than Real News, Who is to be Held
Accountable, which have been published in
academic journals.
“I’m excited to be a part of such a great
publication that has its finger on the pulse of
Parker County,” Browning said. “It is truly an
honor to be working with such a great group of
people.”
Browning is, of course a long-time resident
of Parker County, where she lives with her
husband, Andy Browning and three children.
Besides working tirelessly to make each PCT
better than the last one, she is very involved
with her community. She serves on the board
