We have so many Myrtle Beach stories to tell — and we need your help
Dear Readers -
At The Sun News, we’re committed to providing unbiased news that is essential to our community.
In this past year, our reporting team has impacted our community with stories including these:
Federico and Rafaela Rivera, along with their sons Angel and Fredrick moved from New York to Myrtle Beach for a safer living environment. The family receiving federal assistance could not find reliable, affordable housing and bounced from hotel to hotel since moving, exhausting their money and leaving them with no place to go as hotels shifted to daily tourism rates.
The search for missing boater Tyler Doyle earlier this year has agonized and captivated thousands.
We have kept an eye on local government and held the powerful accountable with stories such as, “Myrtle Beach vacation turns to probation, manager says. Why are police ‘flushing’ Ocean Blvd?” “North Myrtle Beach refuses to answer why their top leader wore a bodycam to groundbreaking” and “Gag in place for new Myrtle Beach downtown leader. ‘What are they really trying to hide’?”
We know our community needs more. But today’s marketplace realities limit the depth and breadth of our journalism. To expand our coverage, we need your help.
We hope you will consider a tax-deductible contribution to help us better serve Horry County. Gifts of any size make a difference.
You can donate through myrtlebeachonline.com/donate. Or, if you prefer to send a check, please put Myrtle Beach in the memo line and mail it to 1601 Alhambra Blvd., Suite 100, Sacramento, CA 95816. Please include your email address.
Your support keeps us at the forefront of our community, bringing you the news that matters most. Thank you for being an essential part of our mission.
Sincerely,
Chris Segal
