The South Carolina Daily Gazette is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news site covering state government and officials and how their decisions affect people across the Palmetto State.
We are a team of four reporters dedicated to providing fair, accurate and thorough coverage of what the government is (or isn’t) doing for the people and with their money. We will clearly explain how policy is made and ditch the politi-speak while connecting readers with what’s happening in their government.
That’s why our slogan is “Empowering South Carolinians through news.” Democracy depends on informed voters advocating for themselves and others based on knowledge, not spin.
We invite guest commentaries that educate readers on varying perspectives and contribute to civil, public debate. Read our guidelines and how to submit commentary here.
To make staying informed even easier, we offer a free newsletter delivered to your inbox every weekday morning. To subscribe, click here. Our reporting is free both to readers and to other outlets, which can republish our work under the Creative Commons license.
South Carolina Daily Gazette is an affiliate of States Newsroom, the nation’s largest state-focused nonprofit news organization, supported by grants and donations. The Gazette retains full editorial independence.
Our name comes from the state’s first successful newspaper, the South-Carolina Gazette, first printed in 1732. Seven years later, it also became the first newspaper in colonial America edited and published by a woman.
