Find Your County
Your Weekly Civic Snapshot
We publish a new edition of the Southeast Mississippi Planner each week — organized by county and packed with practical information, including:
— News from the Source: Straightforward reporting on local government, schools, health care and other community priorities.
— Civic Watch: Public meetings, agendas, minutes and more — so you can know what your officials are discussing before decisions are made.
— Weekly Highlights: Spotlights on neighbor-submitted notes, events and important deadlines to keep on your radar.
Who Is Behind the Planner?
The Planner is produced by student journalists working at the Roy Howard Community Journalism Center. These students are guided by full-time RHCJC staff members — veteran journalists with professional newsroom experience — who provide oversight, training and editorial support. Together, the team curates and verifies information that connects residents to public life in their communities.
