The Harrison Independent is officially open for business.
Founded as an independently owned and operated press outlet, The Harrison Independent will cover the county government, courts, law enforcement, elections, and even community affairs of Harrison County — reporting the news of the community without outside affiliation or influence.
“Our goal from day one has been straightforward,” said Editor-in-Chief Lewis Daughery. “This community, Harrison County, deserves genuine, quality journalism — reporting that residents can trust to be independent, accurate, and focused entirely on serving the public.”

How to Follow Our Coverage
Most Harrison Independent articles will be published directly in the #news channel of the main Harrison County Discord server, where the majority of the community already reads. Residents are not required to join any additional server to stay informed — our reporting will reach you there.
For readers who would like more direct access to our outlet, including behind-the-scenes updates and leadership information, The Harrison Independent also maintains its own Discord server, which can be joined here: discord.gg/UdKKGcUxhB. Joining is entirely optional.
