Welcome to the Big Muddy Independent Media Center!
The Big Muddy Independent Media Center is a grassroots community group dedicated to providing the people of Southern Illinois with an outlet for news, commentary, and dialog about stories and issues that are underrepresented or misrepresented in other media outlets.
The following is our collection of featured stories: news, issues, and events for your consideration. You can use the links at the top and side of the page to learn more about us or find stories on a specific topic.
We also encourage you to "Be The Media" by posting your own news. Your story may even be featured here on the main page!
