Who are our members?
Our members are all different: They live in different communities, they follow different stories and they engage with us in different ways. They work in different fields, come from different age ranges and donate in different amounts and frequencies.
Yet, they all have one common interest: independent journalism in Mississippi.
From California to Washington DC, members everywhere recognize that an investment in nonprofit news is an investment in Mississippi.
Members live and work in every corner of the state: on the Coast, in the Delta and in our Capital City.
Members are readers who have joined a growing community of Mississippians who care deeply about civic life and demand accountability from leaders.
Members support our public service journalism mission by donating to our nonprofit newsroom. Our journalists may tell the stories, but without our members, those stories go untold.
