About

Founded in 2013 by Jon Ross Myers, the Mississippi News Group is one of the largest locally owned digital news organizations in the state of Mississippi.

The Mississippi News Group operates a network of community-focused news, sports, and public information platforms serving readers across North Mississippi and beyond. Our mission is to provide accurate, timely, and relevant journalism that keeps communities informed, connected, and engaged.

Through a combination of local reporting, breaking news coverage, live sports broadcasts, and community event coverage, Mississippi News Group reaches hundreds of thousands of Mississippians each month across its websites, social media channels, newsletters, and streaming platforms. Our brands are consistently among the top search results and most-trusted sources for local news and sports in the regions we serve.

We believe strong local journalism is essential to strong communities. That’s why we focus on high-quality reporting, transparency, and a commitment to covering the stories that matter most — from city halls and school boards to Friday night football and local festivals.

As a Mississippi-based company, Mississippi News Group is proud to be independently owned and operated, with deep roots in the communities we cover and a long-term commitment to serving them.
