LEGACY OF LOCAL NEWS
The Walton Family Foundation has given the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Community Journalism Project a grant to match up to $100,000. This means your gift will have double the impact on local news reporting.
Thirty-six people a day are moving to Northwest Arkansas.
Our area is experiencing one of the fastest growth periods in the region's history. New residents, new industries and evolving infrastructure are transforming the region. Our business, civic and government leaders are struggling to maintain this area’s quality of life in the face of such rapid population growth. Local news creates a shared understanding of what's happening, why it matters and who it affects.
We go out every day to gather the news and stories of this thriving region. A new Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette every day, 365 days a year. We report on news, sports, businesses, arts and entertainment and tell the stories of our region – the people who make it a special, dynamic place to live. We attend a myriad of government meetings and report back to you the issues that impact your quality of life and your wallet. We connect communities and keep residents informed about government, schools, local businesses, neighborhood events and more.
We need your support to continue this legacy of local news.
