Fifty-one years ago, a few of us started a scrappy newspaper with one simple rule: tell the truth and take the heat. We’ve done plenty of both.Arkansas Timeshas told the truth about this state: the good, the bad, and the downright ridiculous. We’ve covered voucher scams, crooked contracts, and every half-baked “reform” meant to benefit the powerful instead of the people. We’ve been boycotted, burned out, and written off.
But we’re still here.
And the reason is you. 
Readers who believe that Arkansas deserves a press that doesn’t flinch.

We’re adding reporters to dig into how your money’s spent. We’re expanding our coverage from the Delta to the Ozarks, so every Arkansan can see their story told. And we’re bringing back community events where our readers can put questions straight to the people in power. It’s the kind of work that takes time, coffee, and our dedicated newsroom who still think truth matters.

We can’t let off the gas now. Here at theArkansas Times, we are dedicated now more than ever to continue providing to you, our readers, a strong progressive voice in Arkansas. However, in order to keep going, we need your help.
