Good News Is
Worth the Effort.
A growing town deserves to be connected.
The secret’s out. For so long, Bluffton, S.C. was one of the top hidden gem towns across the United States. Well, we’re not so hidden anymore, with our 2022 population north of 32,000 residents. The growth has all happened in the past 20 years, when the town was no more than 500 residents with just one restaurant to eat at. When it comes to news outlets for the residents to find out information, the strangest part is the town had more dedicated coverage at the beginning of its boom in 2005 than it does today.
We’re aiming to change that trend.
The goal of the Lowcountry Online Journalism Initiative is to create connectivity and togetherness through the creation and distribution of positive news about Bluffton and the surrounding communities.
What’s the Plan For Doing That?
LOJI is spearheading a number of forward-facing projects with the goal to better inform residents about the community and foster civil debate about the issues that matter most to residents and visitors alike.
