The Why
The Kansas Informer is dedicated to the principles that led to the greatest expansion of freedom and prosperity in human history and to promoting those principles in the Sunflower State. For too long mainstream media serving Kansas have presented news and editorial content not in keeping with those principles. Editors committed to this goal have partnered with other writers and entities pursuing these founding principles to provide the balance Kansans expect and deserve in coverage of politics, society and culture in Kansas and beyond. To achieve that goal, The Kansas Informer was founded by Kansans, for Kansans and answers only to Kansans.
