About
- The local news you need to know about, from a variety of sources and presented in an easy-reading format
- Original reporting you won’t see anywhere else, sometimes based on input from you, our readers
- A heads-up on how to get connected with local decision making
- Exclusive analysis and perspectives on local politics, culture, and urban planning from a diverse set of contributors
- A calendar of cultural happenings
- Photo essays that capture our region through the eyes of local photographers
- And more (but if you want to just scan the top news of the day, that’s OK too).
Jacksonville today is a different place than it was yesterday, and the decisions we make as a community now will shape the Jacksonville of tomorrow. Our goal is to help our readers feel more connected to where we live and to each other, so they can make those decisions in a more informed way.
