High Forest News was created to provide independent local journalism focused on Lewis County and the people who live here.
To maintain editorial independence, High Forest News operates as a digital-first publication. Rather than relying on advertisers or sponsors to fund the reporting, the publication is supported directly by its readers.
Each week, the full edition of High Forest News is published online. Readers who prefer a printed newspaper can order a printed copy directly through this website.
Printed editions are not distributed through stores or businesses, allowing High Forest News to remain independent and focused on serving readers rather than outside interests.
Our goal is simple: provide honest reporting, highlight our schools and community, and pursue truth wherever it leads.
High Forest News welcomes advertising from local businesses and organizations who want to reach readers across Lewis County. Advertising is an excellent way to support independent local journalism while promoting your business to the community.
However, advertising with High Forest News does not grant influence over editorial content. Sponsors and advertisers will not have authority over what stories are reported, how they are reported, or which topics are covered.
High Forest News operates with a clear separation between advertising and journalism. Our reporting decisions are made independently and in the best interest of the public.
Advertising helps support the publication, but it does not control it.
High Forest News is Hohenwald’s independent weekly digital newspaper. Our mission is simple: report the truth, highlight our community, and provide coverage of local schools, government, and events that matter to our neighbors.
To maintain our independence, High Forest News is supported directly by readers rather than relying on traditional advertising sponsors.
