Donna Ladd, CEO and executive editor of the Mississippi Free Press, highlights the importance of systemic reporting in their work. She describes it as a fearless approach that addresses issues other media outlets often overlook or avoid.
“That’s why I coined the phrase for this kind of fearless reporting of what other media don’t or won’t touch,” Ladd explained. Her comments emphasize the publication’s commitment to in-depth, investigative journalism on topics ranging from elections to university communications.
The Mississippi Free Press aims to drive meaningful change through its investigative efforts, according to Ladd. The publication’s approach seeks to shed light on systemic issues and foster transparency in the community and beyond.
The full editorial titled “From Trusted Elections to UM Emails, Systemic Journalism Makes Real Change” was published on the Mississippi Free Press website.
