You may have noticed that this week’s edition of The Newton County Appeal is only 12 pages. In recent weeks, we’ve had to reduce the number of pages we print. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated issue—it’s a challenge being faced by newspapers across Mississippi and the United States.
The rising costs of production and distribution have made it increasingly difficult for local news outlets like ours to maintain the same level of coverage and content. However, our mission to provide unbiased, reliable, and local journalism remains unwavering.
Now, more than ever, your support is crucial. With your help, we can return to our usual 16 pages and continue to bring you the in-depth reporting and community coverage you’ve come to expect.
There are several ways you can support The Appeal:
