About Us

Your South, Your Stories

SouthernRizz was born with a simple idea: every city deserves an independent voice to tell the stories of its communities.

Our Mission

Independent Journalism That Serves the Community

SouthernRizz is a free, independent digital news magazine covering local news, arts and culture, food and drink, music, politics, and everything in between. We believe that strong local journalism is the foundation of a healthy community.

We are not owned by a hedge fund, a national media conglomerate, or a political organization. We answer only to our readers and our community. Our reporters live in the neighborhoods they cover, eat at the restaurants they review, and attend the shows they write about.

SouthernRizz is free to read, always. We sustain our work through advertising, events, and the generous support of readers who believe in what we do.
