About Hampton Hero News

Our Mission

When the county's newspaper was sold to a non-local conglomerate and began to lose its fire for real news, we decided it was time to build something new. Hampton Hero News is an independent local news outlet committed to telling the stories Hampton County deserves.

What We Cover

• Breaking News: Urgent stories that matter to the county.
• Community: Events, town council, schools, and civic life.
• Business: Local businesses, openings, economic news.
• Hampton Heroes: Profiles of residents making a difference.
• Hampton Heritage: History, oral histories, photographs, landmarks.

Our Principles

• Answer to the community, not shareholders.
• Report facts accurately. Correct mistakes publicly.
• Amplify every town in the county — nobody is flyover territory.
• Hero the helpers. Name the heroes.
• No task too small if it serves the mission.
