Alabama Spotlight

Alabama Spotlight

The goal of The Sunrise News has always been to be more than just a source of news. We want to be a place where community is built, and one of the best ways we know to do that is to celebrate positive things we can all enjoy.

This is what gave birth to the idea of Alabama Spotlight. Alabama is a place full of unique and interesting people, places and things, and all they need is someone shining a light on them.

The goal of Alabama Spotlight is to draw attention to the best parts of Alabama. We want to help you continue to discover new and exciting things about Alabama and find new reasons to be excited about living here.

We hope you will join us on our journey as we explore Alabama and demonstrate all the reasons this is a place worth loving.
