Since 1837, the people of Jackson Mississippi have relied on one source to provide them with all the news from the city, county, and state, and although it may have changed many times over the years, that source goes by the name The Clarion Ledger. From investigative exposes to advice on high net worth investments, Mississippi turns to the Ledger to better understand their world.
Whether you are searching for a manure management position or the weather for the week, the Ledger has always pointed Mississippi residents in the right direction. Formed in early 19th Century Jasper County, the Eastern Clarion, as it was then known, was sold and moved to Meridian. Over the next century, the paper was bought and merged several times, finally adopting its current name in the 1920's and consolidating with the Jackson Daily news 30 years later. Taking a strong stand on issues of all kinds, the Ledger received its highest honor in 1983, winning the Pulitzer Prize for a group of stories on the Mississippi educational system.
For nearly two centuries, the Clarion Ledger has provided the residents of Jackson and Mississippi with everything from car raffle announcements to electoral coverage. Now, having launched itself into the 21st century with a bang, the Ledger isn't just the state's number one newspaper, but also its number one news website, as respected in the news world as Dennis Gartman is in the financial world. Whatever your Mississippi news needs, you can turn to the Clarion Ledger to give them to you.
The new website also allows both Jackson residents and other Mississippians to participate by contributing opinions, tips, and photos, giving them the kind of hands on enthusiasm an architect in Toronto feels watching a skyscraper go up. In return, the Ledger provides lucrative classified and wanted ads, as well as reporting small community news to the people, bringing all the local communities together like never before. As a respected national paper, the Clarion Ledger also provides unbiased and up to date news from around the world, bringing the global village to Mississippi's doorstep.
With history, experience, and respect as its foundation, the Clarion Ledger continues to show the importance of the news media to today's society, keeping the people informed and up to date. As it nears its bicentennial anniversary, the Ledger continues to set the standard for journalistic excellence in the Southern United States. |
