With support of the American Press Institute, the Mississippi Free Press is about to launch three physical solution circles over the next three months in three counties in our state focused on bringing people together in conversation across divides and beyond partisanship to talk about community concerns and potential solutions.
“We are celebrating the start of 22 years of Free Press journalism that began Sept. 22, 2002, at the Jackson Free Press, the predecessor of our newsroom and our ongoing strategy to uncover and inspire solutions for the state and the nation with a county-by-county approach,” Kimberly Griffin writes.
“We were far luckier than some in our world because capital-area folks still liked the feel of newsprint in their hands, so the decline in print revenue was slower, giving us time to plan our next act,” Kimberly Griffin writes.
“It’s easy to take what we have for granted in our wonderfully diverse and inclusive team but conversations with my colleagues remind me not to do that because, well, not every newsroom has what the Mississippi Free Press has,” Kimberly Griffin writes.
“I’m excited that our newsroom is expanding, and I can’t wait to see who the universe sends us to join this incredible team,” Kimberly Griffin writes.
“Our team, particularly our editorial team, is a prophetic voice for these difficult times. So we can’t give up, and we won’t give up because you deserve ethical media that yes, focuses on systemic issues, but also offers the hope through the solutions we uncover through our work,” Publisher and Co-founder Kimberly Griffin writes.
“The Mississippi Free Press is a nonpartisan outlet; these are my opinions,” MFP Publisher Kimberly Griffin writes. “This column is actually more concerned with genuinely competitive elections and ensuring that we have a healthy ecosystem that supports democracy at large. Any super-majority of any kind does not support a healthy democracy.”
“Thank God for people like you who understand that we aren’t a fly-by-night joint and who know and appreciate our 21 years of Free Press journalism done right in service of the people over power,” MFP Publisher and Chief Revenue Officer Kimberly Griffin writes.
