About BSN
Black Squirrel News (BSN) is a grassroots community initiative to fill news and information gaps in Calhoun County through our three core pillars:
- Original reporting
- Aggregated local reporting and storytelling
- News/media literacy embedded in everything we do
We are a cooperative of volunteer community members and journalists (who’s that?) and are pursuing a phased approach to match our capacity and resources as they grow. Read our origin story below.
