About The Panhandle Press

“The primary purpose of journalism is to provide citizens with the information they need to be free and self-governing.” — Bill Kovach & Tom Rosenstiel The Elements of Journalism

The goal of The Panhandle Press is to tell important, context-rich stories for people who live and work in the Florida Panhandle, especially in communities where local news is limited or entirely lacking.
