From the editor: We’ve launched our fall fundraising campaign. Here’s why I hope you’ll help
Dear readers,
At the Sun Herald, we’re committed to providing unbiased news that is essential to our community.
In this past year, our reporting team has produced quality journalism with stories such as:
Reporter Anita Lee took a deep dive into Mississippi’s oyster industry, finding that the state spent millions to rebuild reefs in ways that did not respond to changing conditions. “They’re just wasting money,” Keath Ladner, a former fisherman, said in the story.
Reporter Margaret Baker told readers how Mississippi Coast motel managers were identified as the alleged drug dealers at a property after four guests overdosed and a fifth died of a deadly mixture of methamphetamine and fentanyl.
Reporter Mary Perez has keep readers up to date on all the tourist industry trends, including the opening date and other details for the Buc-ee’s in Pass Christian.
We know our community needs more. But today’s marketplace realities limit the depth and breadth of our journalism, which is expensive to produce.
To expand our coverage, we need your help.
We hope you will consider a tax-deductible contribution to help us better serve Mississippi Gulf Coast. Gifts of any size make a difference.
You can donate through sunherald.com/donate. Or, if you prefer to send a check, please put Sun Herald in the memo line and mail it to 1601 Alhambra Blvd., Suite 100, Sacramento, CA 95816. Please include your email address.
Your support keeps us at the forefront of our community, bringing you the news that matters most. Thank you for being an essential part of our mission.
Sincerely,
Blake Kaplan
Executive Editor
