Independent local news isn’t just nice to have — it’s essential. It keeps public officials honest. It keeps our community connected. And right now, it’s disappearing fast.

More than one in three newspapers in America is on track to close in the next three years. We’re not letting that happen here.

This summer, we’re bringing a new reporter to Greenwood through a national program called Report for America — a nonprofit that places journalists in local newsrooms to cover stories that would otherwise go untold.

They’re covering half the salary. We need your help to raise the rest.

If you want to news that works for Greenwood — make a tax-deductible gift today.
