About
Independent reporting with a South Carolina point of view
The Palmetto Review covers politics, policy, current affairs, and culture with sharp reporting, thoughtful commentary, and a playful editorial spirit that still takes the facts seriously.
Our mission
Why we publish
We started The Palmetto Review to make South Carolina easier to read: less noise, more clarity, and reporting that helps people understand what decisions mean beyond the headline.
Our newsroom blends news, opinion, and feature storytelling to connect statehouse developments, policy debates, local consequences, and the cultural currents shaping life across the Palmetto State.
How we work
Reporting with range
From fast-moving political developments to deeper cultural essays, our team aims to be curious, fair, and readable. We believe serious journalism can still feel human, inviting, and alive.
That means asking better questions, following the policy details, and giving readers context they can actually use—whether they are checking the latest news or settling in with a long-form feature.
Meet the team
A small, nimble editorial crew with big curiosity: reporters, editors, and contributors working together to cover South Carolina with rigor, personality, and perspective.
