2025 will be BG Independent News’ 10th year of operation. We posted our first story “School’s Gay Straight Alliance honored for silence that speaks volumes” on Jan. 16, 2016. Our work depends on our readers and advertisers to keep our operations going. Their support along with the sweat equity invested by our team members made the thousands of stories were have reported possible.
As we move into a new year, we want to celebrate what we have accomplished, and invite more readers and advertisers to contribute to keeping us in operation.
There are several ways to contribute. Some choose to send periodic checks, often accompanied by a statement of appreciation for what we do.

Another told us:
“Don’t know how you do it
“Day after day. But I’m very
“Happy/grateful that ya’ll do”
During this 12 Days After Christmas campaign, we will celebrate what we bring to the community.
On the first day after Christmas, BG Independent brings to you:
Thorough local news coverage that goes beyond agenda bullet points, to explain the details of stories such as those pesky turkeys and deer, maintaining historic homes while providing affordable housing, local dogs’ need for a park of their own, and constructing a new City Building.
As one contributor wrote: “I look at your website and Facebook page every day. I appreciate your efforts to provide us with local & area news.”
