YOUR VOICE, YOUR NEWS, YOUR COMMUNITY.

IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT TRUSTED AND UNBIASED INFORMATION.

Access to trustworthy news is vital for any thriving community. When a local newspaper disappears, the community suffers a drop in civic involvement. Without a local news source, residents are less likely to vote, engage with public officials or run for office. The local newspaper connects its community to essential information about government, schools, businesses, events, and more.

The Texarkana Gazette has been the premier source for local news and sports in the Texarkana area for 150 years, and with your help it can continue to empower residents with information that matters most for another 150 years. The Texarkana Gazette relies on the support of its readers to continue the legacy of local journalism. Your support for independent journalism helps preserve a valuable historical archive and give our reporters the resources they need to tackle the issues that matter most to our readers.

Your donations to the Texarkana Gazette Community Journalism Project will help pay for covering stories that matter the most to Texarkanians. Donations can fund travel expenses to send reporters to places around the ArkLaTex and beyond so they can cover stories in person; provide training for newsroom staff on how to collect, analyze and process vast quantities of data; and help fund new positions for specialized coverage in critical areas.

By donating to the Texarkana Gazette Community Journalism Project, you’re not just preserving the legacy of local journalism, you’re helping it evolve for the next 150 years. The first 150 donors to give $150 or more to the fund will become part of our Founder’s Circle and receive an invitation to our 150th anniversary celebration in November! Support the stories that shape the future of our region—consider donating today or setting up a recurring pledge to champion local journalism for Texarkana.
