The Bitter Southerner began as a passion project for a group of natives to the South who were, well, a bit bitter about how it was often caricatured or reduced to its historical legacy as the birthplace of American slavery. That’s a past that is unfortunately still alive and is an indelible part of the American story. The Bitter Southerner confronts such issues head on but while telling a more nuanced and expansive story of this unique and yes complicated part of the world.
Kyle Tibbs Jones, a co-founder of The Bitter Southerner, joined me to discuss the decade-long effort to build a sustainable, independent publication.
