A letter from our publisher

The Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette doesn’t just report the news — it drives meaningful change across the region. Its journalism shines a light on government wrongdoing, amplifies community voices and influences public policy. It also celebrates what binds NWA together: the area’s natural beauty, unique culture, and, of course, the Hogs.

We’ve evolved far beyond the traditional newspaper, reaching more people than ever across multiple platforms, making it easier to stay informed and engaged. However, like many other newspapers across the country, we face economic challenges in an everchanging media landscape. Despite operating at a loss, our family has remained steadfast in investing in this newspaper because we believe in the power of local journalism. Without it, communities lose access to the vital information they need to make

important decisions.

Our family’s hope is to continue that legacy for generations to come — but we can’t do it alone. Your donation will directly fuel investigative journalism, deepen local reporting and ensure that your community stays informed, empowered and thriving.

Together, we can protect the future of trusted, independent journalism in Northwest Arkansas. Thank you for joining us in this mission.
