Clarksdale, MS — If you’ve ever wanted to tell your story, share a community event, or celebrate a local achievement, there’s a powerful resource right in your backyard: The Clarksdale Advocate News. As a local nonprofit news outlet, we’re here to amplify the voices of the Clarksdale community and surrounding areas—absolutely free.
Whether you’re a budding journalist, a proud parent, a small business owner, or just someone passionate about your town, The Clarksdale Advocate News offers you the chance to be seen and heard. Our platform is open to everyone—from schools announcing student accomplishments to organizations hosting community events or honoring local legends. And yes, it’s all free.
Why not use a homegrown outlet with global connections to shine a light on the people and stories that make Clarksdale so special?
Our town is rich with history, culture, and hidden gems. But who can tell those stories better than the people living them every day? The Advocate encourages community members to grab their phones or cameras, take pictures or videos, and tell us what’s happening in your corner of Clarksdale or the Mississippi Delta.
It’s time we take control of our narrative. Stories about Clarksdale are being told by outsiders and making national headlines—but they could be coming straight from us. With the Advocate’s support, your voice can break through and reach far beyond city limits.
We’re here to help. If you’re unsure how to turn your story into an article, we’ll help you write it, edit it, and publish it. Simply email your story and any photos or videos to info@clarksdaleadvocate.news.
This is your community. Your voice. Your chance to make an impact. Let’s tell the world what Clarksdale is all about—together.
