A Thanksgiving message from the LPJ Co-Publishers

(LPJ Co-Publishers: Dr. Judith Roberts, Kyle Roberts, and Malcolm Butler)

To our dear staff, readers and advertisers:

As we near the end of another calendar year, our co-publishing team would like to send a special Thanksgiving message to our entire community for another amazing year of local reporting and news-breaking.

Because without you, there would be no Lincoln Parish Journal.

In September of 2021, our small team answered the clarion call to bring another vehicle of local news by combining our years of journalistic experience to take over publishing duties for the LPJ. In that time, our staff has multiplied and we have published well over 10,000 stories — all with the local angle that we know our readers crave. It’s been a labor of love and one we do not take lightly.

And you, the community, have reponsded by advertising with us, signing up for emails and joining our Facebook page. Because of that, we just celebrated October 2025 as our highest month in readership since we started.

Meaning our readers are engaged, our staff is encouraged, and our advertisers are getting the return on investment they deserve.

Lincoln Parish is a thriving place for local journalism. And it’s our commitment to keeping things as localized as we can that will carry us all into the future.

So we thank you for sharing your stories with us. We thank you for trusting us. We thank you for supporting us.

Here’s to a bright future. Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

Signed with the warmest regards and thankfulness,

Judith, Kyle and Malcolm
