Since our founding in 1997, the Charleston City Paper has been working hard every day to share the latest in news, food, music, culture and cool stuff in and around the Holy City. Our mission is to bring the best of Charleston to you — for free.
But, great reporting requires great resources. In a time where local journalism is struggling, the City Paper is committed to continue offering free coverage always. That means no paywalls and no subscription fees — ever. Just local, independent stories.
