The Harvey World Herald
The Harvey World Herald is the #1 news source for in-depth reporting on education, business, public safety, health, politics, and entertainment in the City of Harvey. The HWH fills the void left after the collapse of local newspapers 40 years ago, providing critical information to the Harvey community. We do this by passing the mic to those with a voice but without a platform, filling information gaps, and helping the next generation of storytellers shape and own their narrative. Our newsroom is a member of the Tiny News Collective, a national initiative to jumpstart local, independent newsrooms in underserved communities across America. We are also a member of the Chicago Independent Media Alliance and Indiegraf. We are proudly supported by the LION Publishers, News Catalyst, Google News Initiative, the Knight Foundation, and Lenfest fund.
