Support Us
The staff of Mid-City Messenger is strongly committed to serving our readers through reporting on issues of public interest, but we need your support to do so.
If you want to see our approach to reporting on Mid-City grow, please consider supporting us financially. Our on-scene reporting of neighborhood street crime, our close coverage of your children’s charter schools or our elected officials, our regular attendance at neighborhood meetings and our promotion of events in Mid-City — all of this is time-consuming, and we need to be able to pay our journalists a competitive salary to do the work.
Your contributions will directly help pay reporters to cover news and events in Mid-City, by far the biggest expense of any online news outfit. It will also help us defray the rising costs of our web hosting and monthly fees for the software that helps us bring you the news.
A monthly “subscription” is most helpful to us, as it gives us the stability to plan coverage in the future, but of course any one-time donation will be greatly appreciated as well.

Alternatively, if you prefer to make a contribution by check, please mail it to Mid-City Messenger, 5721 Magazine Street, Suite 248, New Orleans, 70115. (Please note that these contributions are not tax deductible.)
When you subscribe or donate, you’ll be asked if we can publicly list your name among our supporters. We’re proud of the support we receive on a daily basis, and listing our contributors is one way to thank you.
Other ways to help
The easiest way to support us to is to patronize the local businesses who advertise with us, and thank them for making this site possible. (To inquire about advertising – or to suggest a business that might be interested – email rmorris@nolamessenger.com).
Another way to support our work is to share it. If you read a story of interest, please post it your Facebook page, your Twitter account, or email it to your friends. The more readership our articles have, the stronger the site is, in terms of being able to get answers on your behalf, in generating discussion about important community issues, and in exposure for our advertisers. Further, while we make decisions about coverage based on the public interest, we certainly value our readers’ opinions, and if a particular topic draws strong interest from our readers, we’ll try to increase our coverage of it.
A heartfelt thanks our first subscribers:
Nicole Martin, Pamela Dupuy, Dorothea Morgan, Barbara Mollere, Lauren Gulkus.
