Trusted. Local. Reimagined
Welcome to Dogtown Daily, North Little Rock’s dedicated local news source. We are a team of journalism professionals who believe there is space—and a deep need—for hyperlocal news coverage that is reliable, relevant, and rooted in our community. From Burns Park to Rose City, Dark Hollow to Indian Hills, Capeo to Gadwalls, Charging Wildcats to Mustangs, and everything else in between.
In an era where major outlets overlook our city and social media spreads more false rumors than facts, Dogtown Daily is here to do something different: deliver news that matters, in a format that works for you.
Our Approach to News
A Free Daily Newsletter for Everyone
We believe that fundamental news and information should be freely available to all. That’s why our daily newsletter is free, delivering the most organized, curated, and reliable updates to keep our community informed. That’s our contribution to Dogtown—because an informed citizenry is essential to a strong, engaged city.
Expanded Coverage for Deeper Insight
For those who want more, we offer three free articles per month before asking for your support. Subscribing helps sustain our work, ensuring we can continue to provide in-depth reporting, critical analysis, and as unbiased coverage as possible of North Little Rock’s government, economy, public safety, and community issues.
Independence & Transparency
If we have advertisers and sponsors to help fund the business and expense of reporting, they will always be clearly identified and never influence our news coverage. Our reporting is driven by facts, not financial interests.
