We’ve all seen the headline: Local News Outlets Are Struggling

Our mission is to get you what matters.

We launched HIP Champaign in collaboration with Realty Newspaper and The Power of Sanctuary based on this shared belief: The world needs more efficient coverage of the topics truly impacting this fast-changing world. We pledged to put In God We Trust First and our audience second.

We are meeting our promise by focusing our minds and manpower on a much bigger challenges we all face as citizens of the United States of America. Truly the erosion of truth, trust, safety and sanity in our news is evident.

In this spirit, we offer the following HIP CHAMPAIGN Bill of Rights, 

1. Every item will be written with a local flavor that benefits this Illinois region. NO bots. NO fake accounts.
2. We will play no games with your data or privacy. We will be careful and transparent, and will provide clear, intuitive ways for you to know how your data is handled. 
3. We will go the extra mile to earn your trust. 
4. We believe high-quality journalism should not be an exclusive privilege. We will provide free access to the majority of our content.
