Mississippi Today’s 10-Year Anniversary Gala will be a modern and atmospheric evening celebrating the impact of journalism on communities and democracy across Mississippi.

Blending music, storytelling, art and culture, the evening is designed to feel hopeful, inspiring and distinctly Mississippi. Guests will hear reflections on the newsroom’s impact over the past decade while looking ahead to the future of independent journalism in the South.

The gala will feature live performances, spoken word, immersive visuals and special guests, creating a one-of-a-kind experience that honors the people and stories behind Mississippi Today’s work.
