Heart of Ohio News was founded because we believe that the vast majority of American news outlets have lost touch with the best traditions of crusading publications of the past. 

 

Especially here in Ohio, most news outlets are owned by huge corporations, not based in the state, and are committed to the status quo. Their coverage ignores most local communities, resulting in a vast news desert stretching all across Ohio. When they do manage to cover local or state issues, the result is usually superficial, biased, and committed to the current dysfunction that passes for state government in Ohio.

 

As our founder, Ed FitzGerald, explains in the accompanying video, our mission can be described in one word- reform. And we plan to fight for reform every single day.

 

Thank you for visiting our site. If you agree with our goals, help us spread the word. We can’t tell every story, but we can employ true reform-minded citizen journalism to defend the democracy we have and build an even stronger one.
