strong communities need strong local news.

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette is the state’s largest news outlet and one of the last statewide newspapers in America. For over two centuries, our dedicated team has been delivering raw, unbiased information that directly impacts our state.

Residents with access to local news and information about their community are more likely to vote, contact local officials or run for office. Newspapers connect residents with trustworthy information about local government, schools, businesses, neighborhood events and more. Independent news and information enhances quality of life. To maintain its commitment to be Arkansas' best news source, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette needs help from the community.


With your support, the Community Journalism Project publishes local coverage that is available to everyone. Click here to read some of the stories made possible through donations.  With your contribution, you’re nurturing the growth of a community where facts triumph over fiction and where informed citizens drive positive change. Donate today or schedule a recurring pledge and become a champion for local news.

Transparency and editorial independence

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette values the trust of its readers and the public. The news staff operates independently of donors and maintains full editorial control over content produced with fund resources. Funders do not have any special access to reporters or newsroom projects. Donations help fund newsroom salaries, journalism projects and essential tools and technologies to expand our news coverage. Through our partner the Arkansas Community Foundation, your gift is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Donors names are published by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette unless they choose to remain anonymous.

Our coverage elevates voices, exposes government wrongdoing and impacts public policy. It also highlights what binds us together: our state’s successes, its natural beauty, unique culture, and, of course, the Hogs.

Now, more than ever, great reporters are needed. To whom does one turn to see the world as it is? To whom does one turn for facts unvarnished, for facts not spun but facts presented in pursuit of truth?

Letter from Our Editor

"Our state deserves to have a robust and trusted news source for many years to come, and that’s why we launched the Community Journalism Project."

Eliza Hussman Gaines, Publisher
