I'm Mary Margaret White, the CEO at Mississippi Today. Five years ago this month, Mississippi Today launched as the state’s first nonprofit newsroom. As we kick off this anniversary, I want to say thank you for reading our site, sharing our stories and helping us get the word out about Mississippi Today.
We are humbled by the support we’ve been shown since 2016, and are especially grateful to become a part of the lives of so many new readers over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. We intend to be around for a long time, and we need your continued support to make it happen.
I hope you’ll consider joining our community of members by making a donation to our newsroom.
