The Paradise Progressive

The Paradise Progressive is an effort to cover, analyze and comment on news affecting the Paradise Coast of Southwest Florida that is overlooked, ignored or avoided by local traditional media. It does this to fulfill the role of a free and independent press in a democratic republic--and never has that role been more important.

Funds donated to The Paradise Progressive are used to maintain the site, pay insurance to protect against errors and omissions, and cover other expenses that further The Paradise Progressive’s mission.

With time and if resources allow, The Paradise Progressive will seek to expand as a permanent, competitive, non-profit media institution in Southwest Florida with paid staff and an appropriate legal framework.

As The Washington Post states in its motto: “Democracy dies in darkness.” But we add: “Liberty lives in light.” Our goal is to shine a light as best we can to dispel the darkness.

The Paradise Progressive is not affiliated with any political party or organization. It was begun on Dec. 20, 2018.
