Clarksdale, MS — A new chapter is beginning for one of Clarksdale’s most trusted community news sources. Effective January 1, 2026, the Clarksdale Advocate will officially transition to its new name: Mississippi Delta Advocate, a change that reflects both its growth and its deepening commitment to serving the broader Delta region.
Though the name is evolving, the publication emphasizes that its core mission remains unchanged. The beloved motto, “For the Community, By the Community,” continues to guide every story, photo, and update shared with readers.
Our name may be changing, but who we are and what we stand for will always stay the same. We will continue delivering reliable news, in-depth features, and community-focused coverage our readers rely on.
The updated identity signals the Advocate’s expanding footprint and dedication to highlighting voices, events, and stories across the Mississippi Delta, not just within Clarksdale’s city limits. With a broader reach and a stronger regional focus, the Mississippi Delta Advocate aims to amplify the people, culture, challenges, and successes that define life in the Delta.
Beginning January 1, 2026, readers can find the publication and all digital content at its new web address: MSDELTAADVOCATE.NEWS
As the Advocate steps into its next era, one thing remains clear: the newspaper is committed to uplifting the community it serves—staying rooted, staying reliable, and staying for the people.
New Name. Same Heart. Stronger Delta Voice.
