Your Help is Needed to Support Local Journalism 

For more than a century, the Southeast Missourian has been dedicated to telling our community's stories responsibly -- with -truth, integrity and grace.

Our mission and services continue to be vital to the prosperity of Southeast Missouri.

However, today, we face new challenges as advertising revenues have declined and production costs have risen.

To continue providing quality journalism, we've adapted by reducing our print schedule and operating with a smaller team. In spite of these challenges, we remain committed to in-depth, fact-based and community-focused reporting for Southeast Missouri. Our digital report is among the best in the nation.

To ensure the future of local news, including print, we’ve partnered with the Cape Area Community Foundation to establish the Community Journalism and Civic Engagement Fund and Community Impact Fund. To date, we've raised more than $140,000 to sustain local journalism.

Your tax-deductible donation will help us continue covering crucial topics like local government, health, the local arts, schools and public safety. Join us in sustaining and enhancing local journalism.
