The Beaumont Enterprise

The Beaumont Enterprise is a local newspaper serving Beaumont, Texas, and the surrounding Southeast Texas region. As a news organization owned by Hearst Communications, its primary function is to report on local news, events, sports, and business. The website publishes articles and public notices that may contain personal information about individuals, such as names, ages, and locations, in the context of news reporting on events like crimes, accidents, or community achievements. While not a data broker, the public nature of news articles means that personal details become part of a searchable public record. This can create privacy risks, as information mentioned in articles could potentially be compiled by others for purposes of harassment or unwanted contact. Individuals concerned about their information in news articles can contact the publication directly, though removal is not guaranteed, and should be mindful of how their information becomes public record.
