I started at the Jackson Free Press in 2013 as a 24-year-old who wasn't quite sure what she wanted to do with her life. The only thing I knew after a failed sales interview with the Jackson Free Press in late January that the newspaper was where I was supposed to be. I think my first clue was Art Director Kristin Brenemen's then-pink hair.

You may have noticed our emphasis this year on podcasting—the "Let's Talk Jackson" podcast is about 14 biweekly episodes in. We've already had a few spinoffs, including "Let's Talk Jackson Politics," and, just this past week, we recorded our first (occasional) episode of "Let's Talk Jackson Art." Photo by Amber Helsel

This issue we celebrate moving into our 18th year of publishing as a voice for Jacksonians who want to see progress in the capital city and the Magnolia State. It's been quite a ride!

Welcome to another "BOOM Jackson" edition of the Jackson Free Press. This issue serves two major purposes. One, it's a three-month look ahead at arts and cultural events in the Jackson metro. Two, we do the BOOM edition quarterly, with a focus on local entrepreneurship and economic development—stuff I love!

It has been an interesting holiday season so far for the Jackson Free Press. Over the Thanksgiving break, for instance, our website was on fire with national attention due to Ashton Pittman's reporting on Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, and we were fielding all sorts of requests for photo rights, TV appearances, radio appearances—all while trying to keep up with a reasonable (for these times) moderating tone in the comments on stories and a variety of reader inquiries from around the United States.
