About BSN

Black Squirrel News (BSN) is a grassroots community initiative to fill news and information gaps in Calhoun County through our three core pillars:

  • Original reporting
  • Aggregated local reporting and storytelling
  • News/media literacy embedded in everything we do

We are a cooperative of volunteer community members and journalists and are pursuing a phased approach to match our capacity and resources as they grow.
