Be a High Ground Hero

Now is the time for more local journalism, not less.
Be a High Ground Hero and help us continue our critical work.
Journalism is facing a devastating, industry-wide decline in revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic. High Ground is not exempt.
Our content has always been free, and that isn’t going to change. What’s at risk are the number of stories we can deliver each week and the number of local journalists we can keep in the field. So for the first time, we’re asking for your individual support.
No matter the amount, you will make a difference.
COVID-19 has laid bare the vulnerability of many Memphians—low-income workers, students, seniors, small businesses owners. As we move from emergency to recovery, the city deserves journalists who can report with nuance and care. It needs journalists who ask the bigger questions.
These are the stories High Ground has centered since 2014. This is our time to shine.
We’re confident we’ll rebound by late summer if you will help us weather this short-term storm.
If you’re able, we are personally asking you to please support High Ground News and keep our local reporting strong in these challenging times. Every dollar you give will stay in Memphis.
You can also support High Ground by encouraging others to subscribe to our e-edition and sharing this Be a High Ground Hero one-month giving campaign with your friends and family.
Thank you!
