Dwarf pine and yellow moonshine grass
Thrive on this dry, rejected land.
Hawk-weed and bitter sassafras
Root-clutch their living from its sand.
Black ground was fenced for men to till.
The dead of Gauley own this hill.

–Louise McNeill’s “Burying Field,” from Gauley Mountain: A History in Verse (1939).

Asking tough questions is increasingly met with hostility. The political climate—nationally and right here in Flagler County—is at war with fearless reporting. Officials and powerbrokers often prefer echo chambers to accountability. They want news that flatters, not news that informs. They want stenographers. We give them journalism. You know by now, after 16 years, that FlaglerLive won’t be intimidated. We dig. We don't sanitize to pander or please. We report reality, no matter who it upsets. Even you. But standing up to this kind of pressure requires resources. We need a community that values courage over comfort. Stand with us, and help us hold the line. Fund the journalism they don't want you to read. No paywall. But it's not free. Take a moment, become a champion of enlightening journalism. Any amount helps. We’re a 501(c)(3) non-profit news organization. Donations are tax deductible.
